Re: [PLUG] Linux certification

[Jeff Dean <jdean@ieee.org>]

If you ignore RHCE, your choices are Sair and LPI.  Both intend to be 
distribution neutral.  Sair has some heavyweights on its advisory board, 
but is a one-stop-shop of exams, training materials, and prep 
materials.  One could argue that this is a conflict of interest.  LPI is a 
non-profit and specifically will not become involved in or endorse specific 
training or materials, and they also have some impressive backers.

Check out http://oreilly.linux.com/pub/q/linux_professional for some 
additional info.

BTW - what suburban college?
