I can't speak from market or hiring perspective but as a system administrator myself, I find it handy that I have worked with various types of Linux distributions. But, what's more important is you understand what's going on under the hood. In the end these all run Linux kernel with GNU userland utilities and many more applications, as per your needs. > * If one is sufficient then which one gets the preference (debian or > Redhat)? I believe a lot more companies would be using Redhat due to commercial support from the vendor and popularity of it's certification. But, I don't have any concrete data to support it. I have worked at places where I have used both on the server end. > * Does any linux certification play an important role in your job hunting > journey? > * If any candidate doesn't have any certification but (s)he is good in *nix > and its concepts (good means "almost" familiar with *nix internals) then > what are the chances? I don't have any certification or formal qualification but that hasn't stopped me from getting any of the jobs or projects. YMMV. _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc ILUGC Mailing List Guidelines: http://ilugc.in/mailinglist-guidelines
