Brain Blurb – Technology blurbs from us to you

While I guess that I am excited about being a Data Center Technical Specialist DCTS? (wow that just rolls off the tongue) I am slightly confused as to why or rather how I became certified. My best guess is that this is another ploy by Novell to drum up some excitement over their certifications and their PartnerNet program. I will say that it was a pleasant surprise when I received an email out of the blue indicating that I was eligible for the Novell Certified Linux Administrator certification due to my current LPI standings, and I understand the idea behind them honoring the more prevalent LPI certification. That being said I have absolutely no idea what I have done to receive this latest “Honor.”

So here is the email i received:
