Tough one, Red Hat has a big share of the market now, so going for a course that will take you to RHEL makes sense. However, there are other good distro neutral certification exams you can study for like CompTIA Linux+™ Certification

Yes almost, and Novell is trying to increase their share. That was one of the reasons they signed that deal (dumb) with Microsoft.
I tried Ubuntu for sometime but was not too happy with it. I have installed CentOS now (its a RHEL clone), will start working on that in March, am a bit busy this month preparing for TOEFL.

In bangalore, Linux Training Acadamy has some good cources, and completing them will gain you the Red Hat Certified Linux Engineer title(CLE). But they are all red hat stuff. There are good distro neutral options available, but I don't know of any at present. I think its advicable to go for a neutral cource, then learn distro specific things like Red Hat, Debian and Slackware.

get LPIC,the course is cheaper(5K+) and is a general course covering networking,package management and most other aspects.It is respected world over and is formed by major Linux companies support.
But in India,LPI coaching is available only in few places;may be blore,hydbad,bombay etc. even,you can do a self study if u can get the LPIC preparation book.
with LPIC,u can get Ubuntu Certified Engineer certificate also by attending another paper
*www.lpi.org
you have to write the exams in some prometric/pearsonvue authorised test centres
while RHCE exam costs upwards of Rs18000 last when I enquired.

Can I try the "Linux Training Center", in bangalore ? They are certified by RedHat, so have mostly redhat based sys administration, etc and (guess) ask us to install fedora, which I avoid due to RPM.get LPIC,the course is cheaper(5K+) and is a general course covering networking,package management and most other aspects.It is respected world over and is formed by major Linux companies support.

Can you tell me some place where I can buy a study book for the LPIC ? I want a real(not e) book that has illustrations, questions, answers, explanations, practice material, etc.
Does Aptech, Bangalore have this cource ?

^Linux Training Centre imho can help you,but I dont know how much they charge.Did u checked LPI website for coaching centre's?even online coaching may be available.
leave the thought of RHCE/RHCT as total expense if went "official" way of RH authorized coaching centre+exam fees=Rs28000+
While anyways LPIC-I & LPIC-II means ur over by 10-12K.even LPIC-I is enough IMHO
Most of the ppl I found in Intl forums prepare for LPIC themselves
LPIC text book is readily available here in Ernakulam(in Mindstorm bookstall).In B'lore this study book is available in most computer book shops OR/and gangaram's in MG Rd.
the book is LPI Linux Certification in a NutShell
*www.amazon.com/LPI-Linux-Certifica...bs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1201956236&sr=8-1
^is available in major bookshops.
there are many other books available like:
*www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&tag=mozil...qs&field-keywords=LPI&sourceid=Mozilla-search
But first be prepared to dedicate ur 3 months for troubleshooting and distro swapping between Fedora,Debian,Slackware etc and be thorough with these package managements

LPI do not have much test centers
so right now RHEL is only choice for me
damm, i do not like RPM
jetking may be a option

Most courses cover shell scripts, as they are helpfull in automation of your boring task.

i can't see they have any test centers of thier & and also you need a pratical experiance as well esp networking, and as we all you networking can not be done with a single System, you need a well equipped lab for pratice@gary:RHCE afaik does not cover shell scripting

^no @unknown.I really likes the stability of RHEL .infact I had my training completed for RHCE 1.5 yrs back and I was a fedora user too.if Online update thing is fixed in fedora,I can verywell say Fedora is the best.even Gnome version carried in Fedora is *better* than Ubuntu I feel!
I felt RHCE is a networking course very much centralized on RedHat Linux.
While LPI covers whole Linux arena and ofcourse is a better certification for that matter as it is not only a networking certification but also a all-rounder one
