Re: Re: Linux OR Solaris- Certification (Out Of Office)

I am out of office until 5/5. I am not reacheable by pager. I will be checking my voice mail and e-mail at least daily.

Thanks for your detailed information. Could you please tell me why MCSE is
better than Solaris/Linux admin?

Thanks

MCSE is slightly better than worthless. Solaris is a higher end skillset

that Linux. I have noticed a few jobs which are DBA/Unix Admin. These are
generally smaller projects where they want you to wear multiple hats.

If you want to do one of your choices do the Solaris certification. However, make it clear to an employer that your expertise is DBA, and that
you learned Solaris in order to make you a better DBA. If not they will think you are mediocre at both. Ive noticed that Unix info is about as endless as Oracle info. So its impossible to be truly specialized in both.

one point, if your not already experience in Oracle, these certifications
dont help at all. They really only help experienced people go over the top.
