[TriLUG] Linux Professional Institute Certification Study Group?

[Jason Tower]

i can tell you that not a single one of my customers has ever asked 
about certification of any kind, and i'll bet the vast majority have 
never even heard of LPI.  i've certainly never lost a job because we 
lacked a cert.  just a data point for you.
