GNU / Linux Olympiad for future admins
On the website of IT Planet, a Linux Administration contest has been announced, which will begin in the fall. This is a kind of IT Olympiad for students from Russian regions who dream of finding a job in some large company. Qualifying rounds of the competition will be held in Rostov-on-Don, Krasnodar, Samara, Yekaterinburg, Tyumen, Tomsk, Khabarovsk, and the winners will receive practical training places in the partner companies of the Olympiad.
In the first round from October 21 to October 31, 2009, registered participants of this competition must pass an online test: 30 questions on the knowledge of the Linux platform. Each participant is given one attempt and 45 minutes of time.
Topics of the first round
Students can now see sample assignments on the official website. By the way, the linux.org.ru forum has already expressed outrage that the test tasks are posted in the RAR archive, and inside - a document in Word.Document.8 format. However, the organizers quickly corrected this absurdity and repacked it in a standard gzip.

Another odd moment is that Microsoft is among the organizers of the Olympiad. It looks very strange, but the explanation here is simple: MS is involved in the next stage of the IT Olympiad, which is dedicated to Windows Server 2008. By the way, then there will be another stage in “1C: Accounting”.
If you go back to the competition for Linux-admins, here after the first round of the total number of applicants choose up to 25 students for the final. The final will be held on the basis of the co-organizers of the Olympiad on time (see chart ). Here, the student must configure a proxy server for specific operating conditions. The base system Slackware Linux 12.1 is preinstalled by default, all necessary additional packages will be available.
