    If your looking to book the "linux+" exam then its the CompTIA Linux+ Exam your looking for.

    Other than that check these out:

    Thanks for the reply..I have had some linux exposure in recent places where I have been..Just wanted to get some kind of cert in it as have some time on my hands due to downturn etc...Linux+ is €260 odd to do, very expensive exam compared to other Comptia exams I have done..

    This is something I've been looking at lately too.
    To be honest I'd consider (which I am at the moment) RHCT or Sun Solaris certs to be better because they are more specialized.

    Some people may have different opinions on this.
    Check out RHCT here:

    Solaris Cert here:

    Its not rocket science either... which always helps :)

    Cheers, was thinking would probably go for Linux+ at the moment as have used Debian, Open Suse etc..Think it could be better to go that way before specialising...(Not sure myself TBH)

    Linux+ would be a good starting point, it is vendor-neutral. One thing though is that I found that CompTia exams can be pretty tricky, with some strange questions, but you should learn alot from the course.

    RHCT is something I want too get into myself, looks very interesting.

    Good luck with it.
