Which should I take first (Windows or Linux)


Hello all,

I am currently a Jr. Network Admininstrator for my company. I have my AS and I am working on my BS at the moment (almost done!!!!). And, at work we have a mixed Windows/Linux environment.

So that's my background (Also I am A+, Netowrk+, and Linux+ certified). I am looking into getting my other certs and I am having a hard time deciding between MCSA (then my MCSE later) or RHCT (then to my RHCE later). And I want some oppinions on what I sould go for first.

I use Server 2003 50% of the time, and the other 50% of the time I'm using RHEL (it varies from day to day but, that's the average).

So what is the best path for me? All suggestions are welcome

From a purely practical perspective, I'd suggest getting the MCSE first. Not having an MS qualification can make it harder to get support jobs on MS networks (and there are lots of those jobs everywhere). Hiring for *NIX jobs seems to be based on experience, rather than on certs, so not having an RHCE is unlikely to be an disadvantage if you apply for those kinds of posts.
