Hi. I was wondering what linux certifications are important among the people who hire for administrators. I am considering RHCE...Linux+....LPI certs.
RHCE is very pricey for the training, and testing, so is it worth it to go that route? The others are of no consequence price wise, but I wonder if it is even worth it for those? Do they hold any real value?
Any indepth comments and suggestions are appeciated. Thanks..........Pat

I'm a newbie myself, so I don't know for sure, but wouldn't it depend upon your future intentions? Getting RHCE and then going into a work environment that uses Debian willgive you *some* help, but will it really be of value?

Seems to me that you'd be best off trying one of the more distribution-neutral certifications unless and until you have more precise information about your own future needs.

I like the SAIR Linux certifications myself.
