Re: Job searching?

[Derek Agar <derekagar@yahoo.com>]

As for LPI cert, how many tests are there?  What are
they like?  (ie: written or lab, how long do you
have?)  How much do they cost?
What material is covered?  What books/training would
you recommend?
My goal for 2006 is to pick up a cert.  I am not sure
if it should be LPI, RHCE, or Novell's Linux cert.
Thanks
Derek Agar
