Hi Ihab,
on Linux I had 5 years of experience, but not as sysadmin, more as a power user.
It helped me to improve my job, as I was supporting software running on Linux

I would recommend the RHCE because the exam is very serious and good.

Thanks for your prompt response…Can I ask couple of questions as well…

How many years of work experience did you have exactly?
Did it help you get a job or improve in the job you already have.

Thanks Again

Hi Ihab,
I had quite some experience with Linux and almost all the topics covered.
I did 1 week of self-study using the RHCE guide, plus 1 week of training (RH301) with the exam in the last day.

I suggest you to study on this book:
http://www.amazon.com/RHCE-Certified-Engineer-Linux-RH302/dp/0072253657
and play with the OS till you’re comfortable.

The total time required depends on your current level…

Good luck!
Daniele

I wanted to ask you, what was your level of experinece before taking the training and doing the exam, and how much time did you spend studying for the exam?

Thank
-Ihab

Ciao Luigi
when I checked the certs available, about 1 year ago, I was very interested in the LPI one too as I like the vendor independent approach.

But I found 2 main drawbacks:
1. NPI isn’t popular as RedHat: still most of the people, even inside the IT field, don’t know what LPI is and this limit the value of it
2. NPI is still a computer based exam (no lab) that is a big concern for me. I really enjoyed the RedHat lab exam because leave you the freedom to reach the goals with the tools and in the way you like the most

So unless things are really changed… RedHat would still be my choice

Ciao and let me know!

Congrats!

At this time I am pretty much oriented to the LPI series of certifications (www.lpi.org): altough the easiest ones are at a certainly quite basic level, the market of european business and study institutions seems to be more attracted by them. What you think?
