Question for Linux Admins

vinylbomb · 2013-06-25 11:18:48

Guys, Is there any particular certifications (excluding RHCE/T) that you consider to be worthwhile. I've been dabbling with Linux for a few years, with a little bit in work, a little bit at home. Am looking for something to solidify that experience and also put it on a CV. Is there any one that would catch your eye?

I'm not sure that the CompTIA Linux+ would hold much weight on this side of the Atlantic but it does to a certain degree in the US.

Linux certs are so rare that anything at all is worth having on the CV. The LPICs look interesting, although I haven't taken any of them yet myself. LPI now have a partnership with CompTIA, so if you take the Linux+, you also get the LPIC-1 cert (same exams).
