A certifiable path to Linux Jobs
You don't have to have a Linux certification to get a job working with Linux, but it can't hurt.
Simply working on Linux is easy. Join a Linux community like The Debian Project, Red Hat's Fedora, Novell's OpenSUSE, or half-a-hundred projects and go for it.
Of course, you won't get paid, and 95 percent of the work on Linux projects is programming. So, if you want a salary, and your skills lie in system administration or network management, it behooves you to look into Linux certifications.
Of course, a Linux certification doesn't mean a darn thing in and of itself. I haven't met a standardized test yet that I couldn't beat. It doesn't mean I know anything. I'm just one of those people who test well.
What really counts is the ability to take Linux and make it jump up and down and do the work that today's companies need done. The only way to really show that you have those skills is by doing the work.
