Linux+ or LPIC-1/2/3 certification, which is better?
by jcpflux from LinuxQuestions.org on (#50AKS)
Hi everyone,
I'm debating whether to take the Linux+ cert or the LPIC certs. I see that comptia now offers a separate exam which is completely independent of the LPIC exam. I also saw that they only offer 1 Linux+ exam now, instead of 2. The LPIC offers 2 exams each for each LPIC level (1/2/3) for a total of 6 exams. While the Linux+ exam seems much easier on the wallet, I'm wondering if the LPIC exam goes more deeper in to topics vs Linux+? Has anyone taken either (or both) and can give a comparison and recommendation? I am currently a junior linux admin that works mostly with redhat/centos/suse/aix, and would like to learn how to learn practical job usage of linux while trying to receive a certification for it.
Many thanks in advance for any help!
