hi all,
about the content of the certifications, it is my opinion that in the
codenamed associate version, the content should focus on knowledge:
* the install process
* the boot process / simple shell scripting / basic survival /etc knowledge
* configure hardware (re-compile kernel etc) and all sorts of client
mainstream software (X11/mp3/web browser/etc) plus be aware of several
tecniques do update your software (userland+kerneland) (basic network
configuration in implied here, windows managers like KDE,gnome)
* basically every other task that a normal regular user does like
setting up a workstation.
On the other hand, the codenamed professional version, there should be
more emphasis on advaced tasks like:
* setting up dhcpd,ftp,cvs,http,ipsec,routing,dns,advanced openssh
(tunels,fowarding,etc) servers
* advanced user managment like using pw instead of adduser script to
give an example. do things like crypted filesystems, implement
trustedbsd/Mandatory Access Control features,etc
* have medium/advanced know-how and diferences of several types of
shells sh bash ksh tcsh csh zsh
* perform advanced shell scripts to manage situations that if worked out
by hand would take for ever.
these are just some ideas to iniciate the apropriate grounds for alpha
stage devel of the whole thing, anyways, the content will become more
clear with the upcoming surveys feedback. Maybe i'm wrong here and
there, but at least is a sketch to start with. :-)
happy replying
