[kwlug-disc] Certification: Linux Foundation? Red Hat?

[Ronald Barnes]

Greetings,

I'm looking for informed opinions on the value of certification in 
general (SysAdmin then Engineer), and on the Linux Foundation, RedHat, 
and/or others.


Anyone able to shed some light on whether such things are seen as 
worthwhile by employers?


I see Linux Foundation has exams for $300 USD for SysAdmin and for 
Engineer certificates.

I'm a bit put off that the testing method is accessing their servers via 
a web-based SSH thingy.



Thanks,

rb
