<DIV><FONT size=2>Also, there are books out there and tests to practice on. The
biggest problem I have seen is getting the machines needed to do some actual set
up and testing in real life. (servers, etc. ) Maybe that's something we can play
around with in tclug.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I am finishing up the CCNA certification right now. I have
signed up for a Sun Solaris 9 set of courses to get certified. I am working on
the (heaven forbid) MCSE, because they are out there and I keep having to work
with Bill's software-of-the-month club. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Most of the certification is minimal in value. However, it is
required by a lot of places as a way to show, along with your experience, that
you may really know this stuff.</FONT></DIV>

looking for a <BR>job that is directly related to linux, the RHCE would be a
good <BR>certification to show them that you know your stuff. Especially
if <BR>during an interview you explain to them that it is a hands on test of
<BR>real world knowledge, not just a test of whether or not you read the
<BR>book.<BR>That said, I just took the RHCE test and failed it miserably.
(I <BR>passed the RHCT without much trouble on the first try) If you do
go for <BR>the RHCE, I would recommend taking the class, asking questions in
the <BR>class on ANYTHING you don't understand, being VERY familiar with the
<BR>current release of Redhat (not Debian, not Slackware, Redhat) and
<BR>getting a good nights sleep the night before!<BR><BR>On Friday, September
