Linux certification - Which is the best study guide?

Q. Hello,

I want to update my skills and resume with Linux Certification. I am comfortable with windows but have little experience with unix (mostly adding users). Can anyone recommend any books aimed at passing the Linux certification test. Also which version is covered on the test VS which is the most popular used in businessess.

Thanks for the help.

A. The test is fairly generic. O'Reilly publishes not all but most of the best books on the topic. RHEL Certified Engineer is actually the best certification to have but if you are going for Linux Certified Engineer then it really doesn't matter -- it's a pretty generic test. I WOULD go for the Red Hat certification if I were you, and study hard for it. They recommend taking courses and I undersstand why.

What's the best route to take for networking/repair?
Q. I'm just starting out in my trek to obtain a job in something dealing with networking and/or repair. I am thinking about certifications like the CCNA, MCSE, A+, and Linux certifications. I would prefer not to do degree work if possible. I'm not exactly looking for an extremely high-paying job: I'm fine with something on the lower strata perhaps making $15-$20/hr. Where should I go first?

A. CCNA is better than A+,

A+ is entry level stuff that basically says you know what a computer is, how it shoudl work. It's a bit of a joke, Getting CCNA will show you have the knowledge of A+

Are these certifications good to have for a high paying job?
Q. Comp TIA A+ technician
Comp TIA Network +
Comp TIA Linux +
Microsoft certification at the product level (MCTS- Microsoft certified technology specialist)

Can you get a good paying job to live well with these certificates?
I live in the Bay area in CA, so everything is really expensive, is this a good job to have in that area?

A. Throw in a BS in Computer Science and you should be able to get a very well paying job.
