Not so obvious; the various flavors of BSD unix have a large volunteer 
community going for BSD Unix certification, and they've only now 
starting to come together to actually HAVE a certification exam.

The latter is less important than the former; obviously if you've got 
Nobel winners on your committee it's easier to get backing, but you can 
do without them.

Should take you about 2 years, judging by BSDCert's progress.
