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
what do you say on this?

ok thanks for your ideas, is there any need to learn scripts, what is a shell and perl scripting ?
Shell scripting is considered as a huge advantage! RHCE is one of the many things a company seeks in a personal aspiring for an Admin post in a Linux department. It is certainly an advantage. But all that the companies see is the knowledge and that if u have anything that shows u r good in ur skills like a certificate!

It can be awards given to u in colg fests in Linux programming/shell scripting or anything that tells the world that u r good. But most importantly is the fact how good u r "practically"!!

There r many RHCE guyz I know, who don't even know about "yum" or simple ftp installations. Its like doing B.Tech and not knowing how to install windows!! I hope u understand. Its all practical at the end.

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 dunno about 6 and 7, but in 8 i.e werewolf, it has been improved dramatically almost like in Ubuntu. :)

hey....is there institutes in delhi/gurgaon providing these kinds of certification courses...??
Actually, i am thinking of doing some short term courses in linux as a part of my summer training for B.E.....!!! As also, im not so good and just started linuxing so i have to go from scratch. b4 going for a big move in this field.

Do these courses (above mentioned certifications) start from scratch or should one have some basic knowledge of linux/unix before enrolling for them ???

You can check HCL education.. there was its outlet at Chandigarh.. so I think that there should be one at Delhi too..

Yeah.. IMO one should have basic knowledge of Linux before joining this field..

There is no info, no awareness about Linux so no highlighted courses..........!!!
India needs a long way to go OPEN........!!! Might be this is my pessimistic statement but i strongly
feels this right now..!!!

Getting a certificate will limit your knowledge of Linux. In real administration practical experience is what matters and many things out of the things the course didn't teach you may occur. So the best way to learn Linux is trail and error.

Install VirtualBox (virtualbox.org), install a Linux in it and play with it. Configure each and every aspect of the OS - From kernel to the GUI.

As far as institutes are concerned, Seed Infotech is one of the best.

Try googling for some institutes.

I don't know why the topic author mistook the spelling of linux. anyway i like linux because i like opensource software. I think ubuntu is the most popular linux for its user friendliness. i love ubuntu so much Regards, Kareem from Resorts 360 Vacation Club

any nice step by step tutorial for ^^ .........??

I am a pure Linux user.. So I don't write Windows tutorials anywhere (except if they are related to Linux->Windows.)

But the thing is pretty simple.

Just install VirtualBox. It provides the full manual with the setup itself.
 
Since you asked for a tutorial to help you become a pro, I seriously recommend you try an easy to use and well documented distro which has an easy upgrade path to a more advanced cousin which is professionally used.

An example is Fedora. It has step-by-step tutorials for EVERYTHING, and at the same time its stable brother is Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the distro you will be most probably using if you use linux in official environments (All webhosts with cPanel usually use RHEL or CentOS (a RHEL clone)).

OR, install ubuntu. Its simple enough to NOT want much linux knowledge and learning it will help you graduate to Debian GNU/Linux, the other server-grade linux distro commonly used in professional environments (for eg, IISc (Indian Institute of Science) has all its computers running Debian Stable).

But I don't recommend some other easy to use distros like SuSE, which tries too hard to hide the internals, or MEPIS or DreamLinux, which is not sufficiently documented or has a large enough user base to help you instantly with all your problems.

Nor do I recommend you start with distros like Slackware, ArchLinux, Linux From Scratch, CRUX or Gentoo which need you to work very hard from a newbie state to even begin using them.
