Hi,
Apparently there are a good number of Linux Vendors who are offering
certification. From what I heard Red Hat is the best and also the toughest.
Given that I am going to install Linux 9.0 this weekend I dont think so I am
an eligible candidate for Red Hat certification. Can someone suggest other
certification paths which are recognized in the Linux community ?
If someone is a RHCE please reply.
Worst comes to worst I am willing to take RHCE.
Thanks
Anand
