[colug-432] Opinions on Certs?

[Mike Plemmons]

I got my LPIC-1 quite a few years ago so I assume it has changed some but
what I liked about it was that you had to know the actual commands and
their arguments to pass the test.  The answers had to be written down not
chosen from a list.

In my view a cert test should not be all multiple choice.  Granted, when it
comes to an actual job, referencing manuals is going to happen.

My job at the time paid for it so I cannot speak to price.
