Certification Testing

[Ricky Bryce <rbryce@mcleodusa.net>]

I have been interested in Linux certification since I have started working 
with Linux about six months ago.  For the first time, I have had to set up 
two servers, and the demand for Linux appears to be growing 
(exponentially).  Setting up these machines was not an easy task when I 
had no clue what I was doing.  However, after repetition by experimenting 
at home, I am much more comfortable with the process.  

I am sure there are many features that Linux has to offer that I am not 
aware of, so I decided to work on certification.  I read the entire RHCE 
book, performing all the labs, only to realize at the end that the 
certification is only good for the current major release of Red Hat, and 
the documentation that I have states that it takes 8 to 10 weeks to get 
the results and certificate.  In 8 to 10 weeks, there might not even be a 
Red Hat 7...  I dont know how close they are to the next release.

Would the General Linux certification be a better way to go?  I have been 
trying to look at other alternatives, but I am not sure what companies 
look for when looking for those who are Linux certified.   Do they even 
look for certification?  Maybe they apply their own test to see if your 
knowledge meets thier requirements?

Thanks!
