Which Unix license should I go for?
I'm thinking about getting the Network and Admin licenses for Solaris 9.
But some people say Red Hat Linux license is just as good. And there is also IBM's Linux license. Is Solaris still very popular in the corperate world? Looking for a Unix Admin job, which license do you suggest I try for? Thanks. |

It is my opinion - which will probably be flamed but I still find it to be true - that the manager types who do the hiring are still far more impressed with Sun than with any kind of Linux. Just based on that I'd recommend getting the Sun cert over the Red Hat one.
What you'll learn from either certification will apply 95% to both so that doesn't matter as much. Which cert to get mostly depends on which will help you with your job searching best. In most cases I'd go with Sun. Of course if there are companies you want to work for who have lots of Red Hat that might be the better choice for you. Solaris is still far more common than Linux in large installations. For example my previous job was at a large financial institution. We had 1500 servers to support in our department and at most a couple dozen had Linux. Smaller companies may tend to use Linux more though. It all depends on where you want to work I guess. Medium to large companies Solaris is your best bet. Supporting mom and pop shops I'd go with Linux. |
