That's similar to the Red Hat RHCE cert. I didn't take it, but you have to go to one of their testing locations because part of the exam is a lab where someone is watching you work. It's not a memorize-it-then-forget-it kind of certification. I have the Linux+ certification, and there's another one out there that's similar. But the RHCE is considered the big mamma of Linux certs (at least it was last I looked). -------------- [INFO] -- Access Manager: This transmission may contain information that is privileged, confidential and/or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
