I can attest that one can find good jobs in the Nashville area without a certification but if you have little real world experience to put on your resume then a Red Hat certification seems to be the most popular thing mentioned in job postings that I see frequently. Likely the best way to get a door open for a first job.
The LPIC or Linux++ are out there as well and there is nothing wrong with those, but in resume-land Red Hat certified is the buzzword among hiring managers and head hunters who don't know the details. One could probably figure out an honest way to infer that they have a Red Hat equivalent certification with their Linux++ or LPIC. A college degree in this arena is also important but I know several well paid admins who have no 4 year degree... but it really wouldn't hurt if you are inclined, have the time and do it without going $20,000 in debt.
