 Entry-level Certification
What would be the best entry-level certification for Linux on the way to RHCE:
- LPI
- SAIR
- Linux+
I don't know much about Linux as far as certification goes. Only thing I know is what I have taught myself by using it. I got about 18 months 'unofficial' Linux experience using Slackware.

Linux
Hey, are you still going for the Oracle OCP-DBA? Go for Linux+ (most of the material is similar to A+), and there is only one exam. Later, when you have more experience, pursue the RHCE.

 Good Luck
Good Luck. I was thinking along the same lines. Linux + looks like a good introduction to Linux.

{{{I'd definately go with linux+}}}
OK, which distro is better to install for practice Mandrake or SuSe?
Can these distro's be installed alongside Windows ME?
Thanks,

Yes, you can install them along side WinME. Mandrake is the best to start with IMNSHO, but most others are OK too. Just keep away from Slackware or Debian until you know what you are doing.

Just out of curiousity Nick, how is the Linux+ material similar to A+? Yes they are both Comptia and entry level, but how is the material similar.

I think Linux+ would be the best to start out with. Keep in mind that by the time you're ready for the RHCE exams you'll be able to pass all of these exams w/o any trouble.
I suggest starting out Mandrake and getting a good feel for that before moving on to Slackware, Debian or one of the BSDs. Try to do things at the command prompt as much as possible; the GUIs vary a lot from distro to distro but most of the command line stuff stays the same.

Linux+ is very heavy on the hardware.
