Hi
There are other certification bodies such as LPI. The course are cheaper
and done through tafe I think.
You may get more mileage with experience rather than courses. Try to get
as much hands on as possible by volunteering, being mentored, talking.
Chat to your local friendly sysadmin :-)
Having a development background and experience is always a plus. Don't
discount it.
Some organisations will train you up once you join especially when you
are cross training eg going from solaris to RH
That being said <puts his own RHCE hat on>, they are generally very good
hands on courses. just make sure you match you ability to the pace of
the cource. Even if you get the *NEW* Redhat Certified Systems
Administrator replaces RHCT, you can at least say your certified

I have a background in mainframe computer programming on IBM systems but
want to move out of programming into Linux support. I've rolled my own linux
kernnal& apps for a few years and have a fair idea of how Linux works, but
only in a home-use environment.
So - I'm considering getting some proper qualifications and am considering
couses : Red Hat System Adminstrator + Network& Security
Adminstration + Certified Engineer. Total cost = $AU 9100. Any opinions out
there about how good an approcah this is - can I get a better return on my
retraining investment ?
thanks
