[Cert] Welcome!

[Lawrence Kagan]

Gentlemen,

Welcome to the Cert list at FLUX!

I think our first order of business should be to decide which  
certification to get.  I've always been partial to RedHat distros and  
the RHCE certification simply because of it's brand recognition among  
corporations.  However, if we're all using different distros on  
laptops at the meetings, maybe we should consider one of the other  
distro-independent certs.  The RHCE cost may be prohibitive to some  
so let's take a pole of who wants to pursue which certification and  
their reasons.  The three that I know of are the RHCE, the Linux+  
from CompTia and the LPI.

As per training, I propose we each buy a copy of a single  
certification book and learn from the book.  Books are cheap enough  
and we are all competent enough to help each other.  This will keep  
the cost of learning very low.

Please share your thoughts and preference as to which certification.

Thanks,

Larry
