I have to ask you good folks something. I admit to not being nearly as omniscient as I'd like so I have to ask others for some of my education. I really don't understand the route this conversation has gone down and I'm hoping that I'm not the only one in this boat. Can someone explain to me how the idea of providing some level of competence using someone else's tests is so bad that the conversation quickly switches from "how can we cheaply get name recognition" to "let's open a college".
This was answered early on: fact is *nobody* has anything anywhere near the kind and scope of tests you'd need, even if you could enumerate them (which is where the "big book of sysadmin" came in). Put another way, it's another iteration of "how do you define `sysadmin'?".
