A young student, Linus Torvalds, created Linux operating system at the University of Helsinki in Finland. He had a keen interest in Minix, a small Unix system and hence started developing it in 1991. It was in 1994 that he released version 1.0 of the Linux Kernel. This is the basis on which the Linux operating system has been developed. Hundreds of companies and individuals have used this Kernel to release their own versions of operating systems. The current version is 2.6, developed in December 2003 and the quest for improvisation continues.

Because of its functionality, adaptability and robustness, Linux operating systems are considered the most viable alternative for Unix and Microsoft operating systems. Use of Linux for home-based and Office desk-tops is rapidly increasing and use of Microchips embedded with Linux operating systems on appliances and devices is also on the increase. Because of these factors, candidates rightly opine that there is a tremendous potential for their careers in Linux and they are opting for Linux Certification Programs.

It is the Beginner’s course that has to be opted by inexperienced candidates and for those who have enough exposure in Linux, you have an intermediate level course. This intermediate level course is useful for learning Linux system administration also.

Linux Professional Institute Certification: There are two levels of certification, LPIC1 and LPIC2. LPIC1 teaches Junior Level Administration whereas LPIC2 , Intermediate Level Administration.

Red Hat has gained phenomenal prominence in the arena of IT certifications because they have devised their own certification for Linux products. RHCE (Red Hat Certified Engineer) Certification, started in 1999, is hailed as the Crown Jewel of Linux Certifications. It is ranked as number one in all the IT certifications even by independent surveys.

RHCT (Red Hat Certified Technician) Program is popularly called the transition course for non-Linux candidates when they wish to shift to Linux platform. Surveys reveal that it is the fastest growing credential in Linux. The fact that Examinations for RHCE and RHCT are conducted on live-test systems for simulating real-life tasks renders more credibility and value to these two Programs.
