Well I'm taking my CCNA prep class. I know a lot of people (myself included) used to think that certifications were kind of a joke and that real world experience counts even more. But with the job market the way it is for me (Automotive, US) you have to have something that helps sets you apart from the other thousands of resumes.
I enjoy Linux, I enjoy learning and I hope that Linux will one day get to the point where Microsoft is now. I slowly see that happening as I've just deployed...
