[plug] Linux Certification

[Adam Hewitt]

Hi Joel,

I can recommend the RHCE. It is expensive and difficult, both of  
which tends to put people off doing it, so they aren't a commodity  
item. I have been using linux in a professional (read: ISP)  
environment for nearly 7 years and I know of at least one other  
person who has been using linux in an ISP environment for even longer  
and we both failed the exam our first try....so it is renowned for  
being a true gauge in linux abilites.

I also have the Sair Linux & GNU: Linux Certified Administrator cert  
which involved passing 4 exams which I thought were reasonably  
comprehensive, however despite Prometric still offering the exams and  
training centers such as Excom still offering the courses, the  
company seems to have fallen off the face of the earth. I never  
received the certificate and all attempts at getting in contact with  
the company failed....so avoid them like the plague.

I looked at doing the LPI+ exams and at the time I felt that they  
were slightly under par.

Cheers,

Adam.
