not completely related, but as a linux "expert" whos been lookin for a new job since late august, I can say that of the 60 or so jobs I've applied for and of the probably 200-300 that I've seen, not a single one has mentioned linux certification of any kind. I've applied to a lot that request linux experience, or unix experience, but none have asked for certs. Now that I think about it I can't remember seeing any requests for solaris certs or any other kind of unix system certs. The only certs I see mentioned on job descriptions are networking certs (mostly CCNA, CCNP etc). A few of my former co workers got certified in solaris and they too have not found any jobs. Maybe your area is different, but if your a linux newbie, I would focus on what "cert" gives better training, rather then the cert itself. One of my friends emailed me about a year ago asking about certs, posted a couple(RHCE included I think), and from my quick overviews I didn't see anything truely great about what was tested/taught, though I'm sure it's better then nothing. nate (linux user since 1996, experienced with solaris, hpux, irix, tru64, aix, freebsd, openbsd, Debian, Redhat, slackware, Suse) -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
