Well, the LPI certification isn't particularly highly thought of. On the other hand, the RHCE is not thought of badly. I have the impression that the CISSP is more about processes, procedures, mind set and technologies than about command line options. I already have a bunch of IBM Certifications, at the very least they have been quite useful at getting recruiters to put my resume in front of managers. -- Matt It's not what I know that counts. It's what I can remember in time to use. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
