Hi AA.
Don't worry too much about certifications. You should be looking to gain knowledge and expertise. Look for an expert who can teach you linux in a very lucid way. Install linux at home an experiment on it. That IMHO is the best way.
I do agree with this. However, there is one thing I would like to ask. Do these certifications have content that build up a strong foundation for the candidate who opts for a such a ceritification?
I seriously doubt this based on cursory querying of two persons undergoing training. There is no understanding of the underlying process. Just rote info about RHisms. When presented with a debain machine they were all at sea. Let see if they pass and then check once again. More important they are completely clueless about the gpl, free software philosphy etc. which would make them another brand of serfs. Perhaps i am being too pessimistic
