[ale] LPI Certification Study Group

[leam hall]

Agreed. I have LPIC-1 (Which gives one or two other certs), an RHCE
from way back, and an RHCSA from last year. For my job interviews I
put "RHCE" and "LPIC-1" to show balance and am up front about the age
of the RHCE. However, since I haven't quit working on RH boxes for the
last dozen years or so I don't worry about my skills becoming out of
date.

Every once in a while I consider going for the BSD cert just for the
heck of it.  :)
