Re: [orca-list] Ot: does anyone have a certification from the Linux foundation?

No I do not have any Linux certs, but I will say that there is no reason you cn not do a good job managing 
Linux servers using speakup mostly, but 
sometimes Orca as well. 
All of the standard tools and utils I can think of work with speakup, but some that stream realtime data are 
of course harder to use as data is 
constantly being updated. 
When one must work with a tool like that you usually need to either slow down refresh rates quite a bit, or 
take snapshots of the system and use those. 
Often something can be piped to a filtering application, awk, sed, grep, etc to help by removing data one 
does not wish to her. Also speakup lets you 
block out parts of the screen in its read window mode so you can get rid of some distrctions.
Of course to get a job and do it well you will need to be better than your sighted counterparts, but is this 
not usually the cse for anything we do? 
We will be slower having to listen to things than a sighted person will be reading it, so beiing better, i.e. 
cutting to the heart of a problem, knowing 
what to expect, etc. is of great importance when and where it is possible.
