4/24/2002 -- As incentive for participating in a series of certification surveys, Sun will be giving away up to three free Solaris beta exam vouchers to qualified participants.

The surveys are being conducted in order to "help us focus the [Solaris] exams on areas most critical to your job role," Sun's Web site states.

To qualify for the surveys, candidates should be "system and network administration professionals who have recognized expertise in Solaris OE and networking theory and operations."

Those interested in taking the surveys can apply here. For more information on the surveys, click here.

No details were given on when new versions of the Solaris exams -- for which the vouchers could be used -- might be released. - B.N.
