Linux Certs?

[Richard Bligdon]

Can anybody suggest the best route for obtaining Linux certs?    I am already in a  Network Admin. course.I have so far done Computer and Software Fundamentals(WINDOZE 95/98),and A+(just passed my A+)....and in about 1 month will be doing Novell,then onto win2k.      I understand there is the Sair Linux cert,and then there's LPI....Linux System Administrator?   Then there's the big guy - RHCE?    I was looking at the htm files again from the Redhat site,and I see they have some course...distance learning over the web?Video?    Would I be better to go for Linux System Admin. either by buying materials through Sair,LPI,Redhat,or somewhere else and then go for the RHCE?    OR it is better to forget all that and just go for the RHCE?     Can any of that actually be achieved thru a book and CD,or is it best take a course?    Has anyone done the course over the Redhat Site(what do you have a rich uncle with an oil well,darn it all?)?    Richard
