[TriLUG] Certifications

[jsevans at nc.rr.com]

I am finally seriously looking into getting a Linux certification.  So for, I have identified four certifications out there.

1.  Red Hat Certified Engineer
2.  Red Hat Certified Technician
3.  CompTIA Linux+
4.  LPI Certification

>From what I have read online, the Linux+ is the simplest of them all, and they move on up from LPI, to the RHCT, to the RHCE in difficulty.  Also, I can not afford classroom time for any of these, and will probably end up studying independatly.  I would appreciate anyone comments on these certifications, and your experiences with them.  

Thanks
Jason
