I'm looking at getting some kind of Linux Cert to prove that I have some idea of how linux works. Does anybody have any opinions on which is better: CompTIA's Linux plus Or the the LPI LPIC-1? Or should I rather just try and do both eventually? Simon --- Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). Version: 6.0.384 / Virus Database: 216 - Release Date: 2002/08/21
Read some research papers on Linux based OSs and try to deepen your understanding of the OS. This would be enough to impress the interviewers. Certs these days have lost their value. (just my 2p) Leo Simon Taplin wrote:

I prefer the LPI certification since it is vendor neutral. The organization has been very professional in my dealings with them. Even though I strongly prefer vendor neutral certifications, the RHCE seems to carry a lot of weight at the moment, at least in the U.S. I have one CompTIA certification (Network+) and I found it overly simple. However, I don't know what is on their Linux+ test. Best Regards, Keith -- LPIC-2, MCSE, N+ Once in a moment, it all comes to you As soon as you get it, you want something new Got spam?

There is also a certification through Red Hat - called RHCE - Red Hat Certified Engineer. See --- http://www.redhat.com/training/ On Saturday 07 September 2002 11:49 am, Simon Taplin wrote:

Problem is that it only really certifies you for the REDHAT distro - if you use any "non-RedHat" methods in the exams they WILL fail you. LPIC is the way to go. Anyone here have their LPIC-1 or 2 ? If so, please contact me off-list. JOn
Jon, my intention in mentioning Red Hat certification was for the purpose of completeness and inclusion ( indeed as many others here already know, there are other linux and Unix certifications out there ) and was in no way meant to be or represent any endorsement or advocacy of Red Hat products. One might assume that, and rightly so, because I subscribe to this list that I employ and prefer SuSE Linux. I do not, however, understand why a person undertaking certification of any sort would enlist any methods other than those necessary or prescribed by the body that provides the particular certification and the suggested training literature to pass said certification exam(s). By the way, I don't really like Red Hats distro. Regards. Max On Saturday 07 September 2002 06:14 pm, Jon Biddell wrote:
