Hi can any body out there recommend a course in the essex area that = could lead to red hat certification Alan, Chelmsford

Does RedHate certification mean anything? Isn't it a better move to try for the Linux Professional Institute exams rather than tying yourself to one vendor? (Monopoly is what we're trying to get away from, right?) LPI is backed by several distributors, including RH it would seem:

1.8. I am confused about Red Hat's connection to LPI. Don't they have a competing certification?

Yes, they do have their own certification program. When Red Hat started to develop their Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) program, there were no other existing Linux certification programs and LPI did not yet exist. Now with LPI's emergence, Red Hat is participating in LPI's Advisory Council and staying in touch with what is happening. They are continuing development of their own program and are watching the evolution of LPI to see if or how the programs may or may not complement each other.

You can find more info on LPI at pretty much any major Linux show and online at http://www.lpi.org/

On a related point that I think some people here might be interested in, SuSE have just appointed http://www.computerpark.co.uk/ as their first UK training representative.
