getting linux certified

[alpha88]

I would like to know whats a good linux certification to go after I've seen the linux+ and also the redhat certs.

It depends on what you mean by "good".

If "good" means "tough enough that having it means something", get the RHCE.

Do people even respect the linux+ cert from comptia. I will look into that redhat though.

As a general rule, the harder it is to get a certification, the more valuable it is to have it.

Here is a list of the top 10 certs:

... and check the comments on this certification page : people disagree that the only good certs are the microsoft and cisco ones.

I mean, there's only 1 unixy cert on that list.

I took the RH9 RHCE exam last June. I put a write up on it at

http://jaymzworld.yafd.net/pages/rhce.html

I couldn't go into too much detail because of the NDA, but if you have the experience it shouldn't be an issue. I took both the LPI and the RHCE and I definitely studied more for the LPI because it was a bit more arcane in questions. For RHCE I could rely on personal experience.

I myself was interested in the LPI certification, since it is non-distribution specific. And let's face it, appart from knowing what's the name of the special magic program for configuring things on distribution Z , most of the stuff is mostly the same.
