different linux certifications
 

I am considering a LPI (www.lpi.org) certification and I'd like you to post which linux certifications you know about and maybe some facts about them if possible (URLs should also be part of your post).

Currently I know of

• LPI (LPIC1, LPIC2, LPIC3)
• RedHat certification (RHCE/RHCT)
• SUSE Linux certification (SLCP, SLCE, SLCM, SLCT)

Also
Linux+ (CompTIA)

SAIR
 

Don't forget about SAIR Linux Certification at http://www.linuxcertification.org

From my experience, LPI is the best. Why? Because it used to be that RHCE is the key linux certification to have but now with Novell/Suse Linux getting into the market, the dynamic changes again. LPI provides a stable vendor neutral certification that doesn't expires. All is needed is that you study, pass, get the job you want and accumulate experience.

I spoke to LPI people, the goal is to create a certification akin to a CFA Certified Financial Analyst cert that is recognized worldwide by all financial institutions whether in London, NYC, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Zurich etc. LPI is doing the same for Linux certification. CFA also have three levels of exams.

LPI will prepare linux professionals to deal with open source technology from a vendor neutral standpoint.
