<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Have to submit a list of desirable courses for the next year and was wondering if there are any recommendations for courses or certification with a *nix/open source slant:<br><br></div>Linux System Admin (particularly web servers)<br>
</div>General server networking (web facing data centres, firewalls, switches, discovery)<br></div>Automation tools (build, config management, deployment), things like Jenkins, puppet.<br><br></div><div>How are certs like the LPI considered today (looks a useful goal) - and buying a useful selection of books to go with ?<br>
</div><div><br></div>Cheers, Nick<br></div>
