Re: [PLUG] Certifications

[Paul <paul@dpagin.net>]

As a MCSE (Passed all test three years ago I believe.) I had the same 
experience studying for the tests.  The certification itself isn't worth 
much, but what I had learned is still with me.

As far as which certification to pursue, forget going vendor-neutral. 
That's what the A+ and newer CompTIA tests try to be.  Even the A+ is 
really a hardware/Microsoft cert.  People like big names.  RedHat is, or 
is becoming, one of those names.
