Do you plan to get a Linux cert?

| I'm wondering how many folks plan to get some sort of Linux certification whether it be Linux+, LPI or RHCE. Does anyone know if SAIR is still in business?

| Afaik Sair's still out there. I'm not going to try for any Linux certs until I'm within reach of the the rhce which is probably a few years away. | |

| I`m doing the ccdp test on the 12th but right after that I`m going to start studying for Linux+.
Why?
Studying for certs helps me to really learn the subject matter and I want to learn Linux.
My intuition tells me a certain level of proficiency in Linux will be must have skills in the very near future "next couple of years" if not already.
I can use linux and get around it fairly well but I don`t "know" it.
Plus this will be a good short break from Cisco before I go full bore into my CCIE study`s for about a year. | |

| I hear you chodan.
I am busy studying for CCNA (Subnetting is driving me nuts!) and I also have to take a few MCSE tracks, but once I'm done with those, hopefully in a few weeks, I plan to jump on Linux+. You're right - studying for a cert is one of the best ways to learn.
Good Luck on the CCNP!

| Apologies for the dual message. I thought I pressed the button once.... guess it didn't work ;-) | |

| Next couple of years? Forget that, Linux is hot now! It is no longer a "fringe OS", but is 100% mainstream and people have seen its value. So skills in Linux are highly valued now.
I am doing my Linux and Unix for now and after I am done will go on to Cisco like yourself.

Don`t let subnetting get you down also don`t rely to much on subnetting charts or subnetting calculators, they will handicap you in the field, learn it the slow hard way and it will always stay with you.
When I was first learning SN it went slow then one day "bing" the lightbulb went off in my head. |
