OpenSource Certificates

[Simón Ruiz]

Jeffrey,

I'm currently working (or, more accurately, procrastinating) on my
LPIC Level 1 certification. Linux Professional Institute certification
is pretty intense, though; it's intended for people with a couple of
years experience working as a Linux administrator.

Perhaps you might take look at CompTIA's range of certifications; the
Linux+ one, perhaps, could be prepared for in a high school
environment.

What sort of content are you teaching? What's the name of the class?
