CompTIA Stackable Certifications

You’ve put in the time, proved you have the knowledge and skills, and earned the certification. Maybe you’ve rinsed and repeated that cycle multiple times and now you have multiple certifications to your name. Your certifications validate your experience but how to bundle that into a cohesive designation? Well, CompTIA has the answer for you, they have created CompTIA Stackable Certifications.

WHAT ARE COMPTIA STACKABLE CERTIFICATIONS?

CompTIA Stackable Certifications are a new way to showcase the skills you’ve validated through earning your CompTIA certifications with a new designation. There are two pathways for the new CompTIA Stackable Certification designations.

1. Infrastructure Career Pathway
2. Cybersecurity Career Pathway

Each pathway within CompTIA’s Stackable Certifications is also categorized by experience level; specialist, professional, and expert. Specialist designations recognize IT professionals with up to 2 years of experience. Professional level designations are for IT professionals with between 2 to 5 years of experience. The expert level designation is for IT professionals who have over 5 years of experience.

Like earning individual certifications CompTIA’s Stackable Certifications for either pathway validates the IT professional’s technical skills and knowledge from the beginning to end, regardless of years of experience.

Luna : The next generation of Elementary OS (Free Download)

Lightweight and beautiful. All-new apps. A refined look. 

Mac OS X is definitely one of, if not the most, consistent and aesthetically pleasing desktop OS on the market to date but in order to use it, you still need to get a Mac. If you work on a Windows PC and don’t want to build a Hackintosh, you can try this alternative: Elementary OS Luna.

Elementary OS Luna is a Linux distro based on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. It’s the second OS developed by the Elementary OS team after Elementary OS Jupiter (which was based on Ubuntu 10.1)

The Elementary OS team’s focus on minimalism extends beyond Luna’s user interface. Elementary OS Luna comes with only the most basic applications pre-installed.

Amongst these applications are:

• Midori, a web browser
• Noise, a music player
• Geary, an email client
• Shotwell, a photo manager
• Totem, a video player
• Empathy, an internet messaging client
• Scratch, a text editor

On the whole, though, Elementary OS Luna is a good Linux distro that will definitely appeal to users looking for a stable and smooth OS that manages to provide some of Mac OS X’s visual polish and consistent user experience.

Elementary OS Luna will never replace Mac OS X, that’s for sure but, for users who are unable to run the latest version of Mac OS X on their computers, Elementary OS Luna is definitely worth a try.
