Hey all,
I have been doing some checking around town (oahu) in the last
couple of days for *nix / linux / RH certs, and have found that the
going rate is around $1000 - $1500 just for the class, not even
including the test! I am aware that most of these classes are business
oriented, and a business would of course be able to put out these resources.
However, my situation is entirely different. I was just wondering
if anybody knew of any cheaper alternatives that someone in my position
( I won't bore you all with the details, suffice it to say "financially,
as well as spelling bee :) challenged", and financial aid is a long
shot at best, could turn to. Rest assured, my pursuit of knowledge will
not be limited by a piece of paper, but that piece of paper often helps
a great deal.
Thanks,
karibdis

What type of cert would you get from these classes, how could you apply
it to "real world" practice, And please justify spending $1600 for a
piece of paper. ( Not trying to put you on the spot or anything, but I
would value your input and response, thanks. )
