Hi,

If there was some sort of independent system to produce the grade,
rather than "I think I'm A++ because I wanna seem super awesome" I think
it would be beneficial to both the learners as well as the teachers to
challenge themselves to learn more about the skills/languages/etc..

It might be possible to reach out to The Linux Foundation for some
materials to do this for Linux system/network aspects, and perhaps even
Bash/shell scripting.

Or we could internally evaluate each others' code if a few of us share
common programming languages, code does not lie (though it can be
unclear, which could be an indication in of itself).

Evaluation of general GNU/Linux (server/admin) skills will be harder
without some sort of standard test, or exercise to give a concrete result.
