Re: [PLUG] Linux Certification

["Lee Myers" <ichilegend@gmail.com>]

I was one of the authors of the Linux+ exam, so I am a bit biased.  I think
that it is a very good exam in its current iteration.  It is designed to
show that the passer has a grasp of Linux concepts and at least 6 months of
hands on experience.  The LPI has multiple exams centered on demonstrating
various levels of expertise.  As an employer, I agree with Brent, that the
RHCE still has the most clout.  In general though, I think any certification
will show your employers at a glance that you have current skills and are
committed to education.

Cheers,

RedHat still gets the most respect ATM, but there are a couple Ubuntu certs
out there (they're pretty new) and i can see them taking over the reputation
of RH in a couple years.

Hi need some friendly peer advice.

Which is the best route for Certification:

Novell

Redhat

Linux+

Which of these can be self studied? How much does it cost to take the
test/s?

What do people recommend. I would like to do Security related stuff. But I
feel Sysadmin is a good start, and or Cisco which I know can be self
studied. SANS is a lot of money not sure I initially want to go that route.
Masters in InfoSys would be nice also a lot of money and time. 

Help appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Bill Gates is to hacking as Sid Vicious was to the Sex Pistols: no talent,
everyone hates him, and he's just in it for the fame and money.
