That is a good point. Sometimes the most simple things get overlooked.

Just experience. I have an unrelated undergrad degree, back in the mid 90's I started looking at certs to supplement. I took all kinds of tests, Apple, Cisco, LPI, Microsoft, CompTIA,basically anything I had to work on or found interesting I read books and took tests. I went from job to job looking for something that I liked, each time trying to milk all the information from employers as to what was valuable. This could be a regional thing, in Central Illinois in the US has limited opportunities. One needs to be creative, think out of the box and be marketable. From what I was told from the larger employers, the tests that are potentially not proctored are basically worthless. While I believe that being successful in IT is 70% common sense and 30% knowing where to look and who to ask, most employers don't agree (or don't know enough to agree).
Who would have thought there would be another Nick (with the same initials even) in Illinois that uses BSD, small world, anyways... I think most of you guys / gals are blowing the cheating thing out of proportion; Microsoft lackeys are just that (popular, buzzwords, etc.), BSD is obscure (UNIX is a bit too) to beginners, and you have to want to use UNIX. I think we just eliminated 90% of the cheaters without even lifting a finger.
