[aklug] Re: What certifications should one have?

I'm biased

I learned a LOT with the SANS/GIAC security certifications.

Used to be you had to write an original research paper and
take a test to get certified. Now you take a proctored test
and write the paper if you want to get a gold certificate.
The courses are pricey, but the material is worth it.
I'd recommend taking the courses via sans@home or self study.
Taking courses at a conference is intense.

Subject: [aklug] What certifications should one have?

I'm looking at the following certifications...
1. Ubuntu 199
2. Cisco CCDA ( I think that's right )
3. Cisco CCNA=20

I want the Ubuntu certification cause I think it would be cool to say
I'm Ubuntu certified. I think you get to use the Ubuntu logo on your
website if you're certified. The Cisco certs are for the rest of the
network. Packets don't make it to and from the Linux server by them
selves.=20

I would do some Microsoft stuff but I think there are too many MCSE's
out there and not enough Cisco and Linux people... Thoughts?
