Applicability?

[shr3k]

I wonder how they'll approach this. Will it be generic BSD certfication, much like LPI's [lpi.org]? LPI's goal was to be distro-agnostic.

I'm sure it might be nice for the BSD cert to be agnostic as well, perhaps with specialities in the different "distros" - Open, Free, Net, etc. But would that be worth it?

And would Solaris and Mac OS X kinda count, since they are (somewhat) BSD-based?

Indeed. I was always under the impression that Solaris was based on SysV, not BSD. Although googling around it appears that SunOS was BSD-derived.

In comparison

Cisco's certs push cisco technologies over other sane technologies. For example they suggest EIGRP is better than OSPF and should be used.

Like wise BSD certs should be like:

Which OS is more stable?
(a) Linux
(b) BSD
(b) Windows

Which License is best for real FREE software?
(a) GPL
(b) BSD
(c) MIT

Which OS will soon surpass Linux?
(a) None
(b) SkyOS
(c) BSD

Why is BSD less in use than Linux?
(a) The stupid AT&T lawsuits
(b) Less propaganda
(c) Less corporate support
(d) No bells n whistles
(e) More geekcentric than fanboycentric
(f) GPL has been overly and wrongly marketed
(g) All of the above

Which OS's TCPIP stack is used EVERYWHERE?
(a) Trumpet TCPIP stack
(b) BSD
(c) DEC
(d) cisco

What should you worship to pass this test?
(a) ZetaOS
(b) ELKS
(c) Minix
(d) Sybian
(e) ReactOS
(f) BSD

Section B

Please List at least 20 developers who have worked on the BSD kernel

Section C

Write an essay on either (a) the early days of infighting in the BSD camp with allowed Linux the lead or (b) The BSD developed heirarchy. Should you even hint Linux is better or BSD is dying your paper will be torn angrily to shreds and a small but strong BSD mob will break into your house and delete your partitions.
