Oracle Linux Certification is Beta
One of the strongest Linux certifications to debut in a while isn’t from a Linux vendor. To become certified as an Oracle Enterprise Linux Administrator Certified Associate (a mouthful, if ever there was one), you must first hold an entry-level Linux certification (LPI, Linux+, Novell, Red Hat or Ubuntu) and then pass exam 1Z0-403.
This exam, available at Prometric testing centers, is in beta until Jan. 20. While in beta, it consists of 175 to 200 questions and costs $50.
What makes the exam strong are the topics that it focuses on:
- boot process and SysV init
- client networking
- filesystem administration
- installing enterprise Linux
- Linux kernel compilation
- LVM and RADI
- PC hardware and Linux
- post-install system configuration
- security concepts
- task automation and process accounting
- the X Window System
- troubleshooting
- user/group administration and NFS
The Oracle Enterprise Linux Administrator Certified Associate certification will be required before you can obtain the Oracle Enterprise Linux Administrator Certified Professional certification (which is still in the works).
