Just be honest,
What would you recommend if you were me?
A Microsoft certification or
A Linux certification
according to the job market worldwide and the market trend.
Thanks
Jack

Why not both? At least it would indicate someone who might
warrant a serious look when compared to all of the other
applications that are received.
 
Most large organizations, and many medium-sized organizations, utilize both
MS and Linux. Don't think as "either/or" -- think "both".

The MickeyMouse certifications are a dime a dozen. IE, everyone and their
dog has one of those and therefore they don't command much over minimum
wage. People holding Linux certifications on the other hand are far far
fewer and can command wages significantly higher than holders of
MickeyMouse certs. But of course the final analysis will depend on where
you're located and what the demand is in your area for the various
certifications.

The future of computing is with open source and Linux as more and more large
companies and government institutions move over to that model and away from
the proprietary and unstable toy operating systems from MickeyMouse. If it
was me, I'd bet on a Linux certification as being the more valuable asset
for the future.

You mean a knock-off of a 40-year-old operating system originally designed
by a money-losing division of your local telephone company?

Implementation of Linux is proceeding at about the same pace as
metrification in the U.S.

Oh dear. A trapped 70's timewarp. Implementation of Linux is FASTER than
that of Windows, particularly as more and more people see Microsoft for
what it is - The Borg.

Having done a bunch of both linux and windows, I would disagree, they
are about the same as far as rolling them out and user
performance/installation.

On the desktop certainly, but the server implementation is faster
AFAIK.......

Leythos is simply a Windoze Fanboy. He has no clue about Linux. His
suggestion that the pace of development between desktop Windoze and Linux
are the same just shows his total ignorance on the subject. I cannot
believe he's ever worked with a Linux box in any serious fashion if he's
trying to tell us that performance is the same as Windoze. Windoze gets
bogged down with only a few services running. Linux, even on less powerful
hardware, runs circles around Windoze in terms of performance. The TCP/IP
stack for example in Linux is twice as fast as it is in Windoze and I've
benchmarked that a number of times.

The new "features" in Fista is behind what we've had in Linux for a long
time now. Linux has been handling 64bit processors for at least the last 8
years, whereas Windoze is still working on getting that working correctly.
The most innovation section of the computing world is coming from Open
Source. Windoze "innovation" consists of buying old technology from M$'s
competitors. But then, what would a Wintard know about this whole subject
anyways?

Nobody is much interested in Windows in the corporate world here, (one
of the biggest offshore banking tax havens in the world). Linux
servers are ubiqitous and a lot of companies are changing to Linux /
Open Office for the workstations. I have just been interviewed for a
job with a very large company £1 Billion turnover last year who are
mid replacing all windows boxes with Suse Enterprise thats a data
centre and 50,000 + seats all over Europe lost to MSFT. I have MS
qualifications but my Linux experience swung the interview, may even
get the job to help with the switch over, fingers crossed.

Learn Linux, MSFT will be finished unless it takes radical action, its
too expensive, too buggy and its losing to Open Source stuff rapidly
especially Open Office replacing MS Office. Vista will make things
worse as it stands because although it is more secure it is
unfortunately very badly implemented making life very irritating from
a admin point of view.

Pity really I like Windows, have used it for years for work and
pleasure but Vista is just not what was promised or anywhere near
right for industry.

Linux Qualifications? can you get them? what would you recommend
sounds interesting. In fact it seems as long as you can discuss Linux
with a bit of confidence the employers seem OK, no one has asked me
for any bits of paper yet anyway.

Samba is popular, its taking over from NFS so its worth boning up on.

This is a Windows XP newsgroup. Not your personal area to stand on your box
and wave the Linux flag.
If you can't give answers to XP questions without telling everyone to switch
to Linux then please don't post.
If people wanted to use Linux on the desktop they would and over 95% decided
not to.

Rant On!

Umm no - 95% weren't given the choice. GET THE FACTS.

Who are you the Net Police?

The OPs question was about Linux or MSFT

Usenet is not the property of MSFT or anybody else.

Fact: People do have a choice to put whatever OS they want on there
computer.
Fact: Most people decide to use Windows.
Fact: Even if your computer was purchased with Windows there is no law that
says you can't change it.

Umm no they don't. Up until a year or so ago, you could NOT buy a machine
with Linux pre-installed in ANY major vendor. Only Windows. (Macs are a
different story)
Fact: Most people decide to use Windows.

No. FACT - most people get NO CHOICE. They are NOT offered ANYTHING other
than WINDOWS.

That's true. Most people are lazy and just use what they are given.
 
Both would be good to have.
I would say that experence will count much more then any certification.
So get as much as you can.

I don't believe you've actually done anything with Linux, nothing more
than playing with it, or you would not make a statement like the above.

It doesn't matter what you've found in your home or read on some block,
until you've installed it in a real network environment at an office,
you can't possibly know.

Linux is faster without the GUI, but it's not any different once you are
at the desktop with the GUI.
