That's the problem. You have the normal lack of professionals (in general) used to travel,
contracts,
professionalism, etc... Then you have the added
problem of
Linux knowledge. It is so very, very difficult to
find the
combination.
Actually, from what I've heard, one of the
bigest problems
companies migrating to Linux are facing is the
shortage of
(good) Linux professionals.
Exactomundo.
Regardless of what you think of certification in
general (I
loathe it, and have complained about the "cert
whore"
industry where you have to do "tricks"), the
non-profit Linux
Professional Institute (LPI) is trying to do its
best to
further the concerns of Linux Professionals and
employeers
alike ... world-wide.
[ E.g., the US is #3 in number of LPI certified
individuals.

Ok now i have another question for all wise people out there. Would it be adviseable/worthwhile for me to get a certification in Red Hat. Maybe as a RHCT would love to get RHCE, but i am thinking realistic. :-)
1. would spending this money help me get a job any faster or a better chance of a job. 2. i know i have the knowledge of linux, or going this approach wont matter in getting a job and i would just be wasting money.
All opinions will be greatly appreciated.
