Hi guys,

Having lived and worked in Scotland, I only qualified in an A+. In South 
Africa you will not stand a chance if you don't have a certification. 
Simple truth is, Someone with the same experience as you but has a 
certification, then he's going to get it. For Linux we have quite a few 
companies offering courses. Redhat is the main one. I have attended 
there courses twice and its nice to see the certs. I found Scotland 
exteremely expensive for IT courses. Over here you can pick up a full 
RHCE for 1200 pounds, including test and 3 courses in one.
