I would like to sit for a Linux certification exam but, I don't have any idea interms of the right certification and the best way to study for the certification exams.
Can any one suggest me the right certification for Linux ? I don't mind to study at home and sit for an exam. I started with Debian Sarge as my first Linux distro and I liked it so much. I want to improve my career in Linux networking/admin.
Any advise or suggestions will be greately regarded.
im going for RHCE certification, and lpic specs on lpic testing etc can be found at trainingcamp.com heres the testing specs for lpic:
1 Introduction to Linux; Installation; PC hardware identification and configuration; Shell features and configuration; Linux editors

4 Boot Process and Run Levels; Documentation; User/Group Administration; System Administration
5 Kernel Compilation; Shell Scripting; Printing System
6 Networking; Network Services; Security 117-102
7 Comprehensive Linux Review Day CompTIA Linux+
id say i know and am good with about 95% of that...but depending on what versions of linux you've run , and how long you've run it, and your experience courses you may want to take could be way less advanced then what i want to get into...after im done with RHCE (red hat enterprise certification) i am shooting for a SuSe pro certification...but im soon to be turning 19 and have people lined up willing to foot the bill for my schooling/testing/books/room & board (AMEN for bein slapped in a reform school when i was 15 LMAO they're the ones footin the bill) hope this helps a little
qub333 is right. The cert alone is only part of the package - it's very nice to have, but not enough to stand on by itself.
Have you considered starting with RHCT and continuing from there? I attended the Red Hat classes and passed the RHCT test. Sometime this next year ('06) I will be attending community college classes for the RHCE and then taking the test.
The RHCE test itself costs > $700, so I don't particularly want to mess it up. I can tell you that the RHCT is not easy. I've heard the RHCE is much less so. These are well respected certs for a reason: they're a lot of work to earn.
I'm looking at doing the LPI certification as it's Distro independent, and teaches u system administration, which is what will be needed soon, and therefore will pay big bucks (well that's the theory anyway!)
Though i say it's distro independent, i have read things in there about dpkg.... that's sounding not really distro independent!!

Another good one (with a generaly good reputation, although no one is going to hire you with a GED and it) is the Linux+ exam from CompTIA
would the compTIA be good for me? i dont have a ged, i have a full HS diploma (if i can find it is a whole diffrent story...moved 3 times since i got it)
Hello,
Hey if any one wants ths RHCE books or other exam related things i will provide you but help me in suse linux any one have a suse books or course material of suse certification
From the people I've spoken to it is a well respected qualification and is vendor neutral, so doesn't tie you to Red Hat / Suse etc.
I've created a web site based on the the information required for the exams. This includes a practice exam (101 only at the moment, although I hope to add 102 soon).
Certifications are always good. It shows you are willing to learn. It might not get you the job as it is not a substitute for real world experience but it always got me to the final three candidates.
You learn a lot from the study you put in.
I have no Linux certs but hope to get them one day.
I used to be a Microsoft man. I have MCP,MCSA, MCSE and A+ qualifications.
Concentrating fully on Linux now
