Disclosure: I have no certifications in anything. :) Well it depends on what good means to you. There are a lot of places which look at certifications as must haves even though the quality of the cert itself isn't that "good" (which I define as "not very rigorous"). When I've hired people, I haven't put that much stock in certs because I'd rather hire someone that had a clear ability to think on their feet and learn on their own. In a lot of cases I think the only thing certs tell you is that someone remembered something long enough to pass the test. That having been said, IMO the Solaris certs don't have much meaning to them -- at least based on the interviews I've given to some of the people who had them. I've been told that the RedHat certifications are much more thorough (Disclosure #2: I'm actually being sent to do a RHCE course and cert next month -- if there's still interest in this topic I'll follow up with impressions). Cisco certs have traditionally carried a lot of weight as well. HTH Tabor -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabor J. Wells [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fsck It!
