I was one of the authors of the Linux+ exam, so I am a bit biased. I think that it is a very good exam in its current iteration. It is designed to show that the passer has a grasp of Linux concepts and at least 6 months of hands on experience. The LPI has multiple exams centered on demonstrating various levels of expertise. As an employer, I agree with Brent, that the RHCE still has the most clout. In general though, I think any certification will show your employers at a glance that you have current skills and are committed to education.

Which is the best route for Certification: Novell Redhat Linux+ Which of these can be self studied? How much does it cost to take the test/s? What do people recommend. I would like to do Security related stuff. But I feel Sysadmin is a good start, and or Cisco which I know can be self studied. SANS is a lot of money not sure I initially want to go that route. Masters in InfoSys would be nice also a lot of money and time. Help appreciated.
