Sys admin training?

[Jer]

I've been using Linux for a while now, and decided to take a Linux sys admin class at my local community college.  I would like to get into working with Linux professionally and was wondering what is recommended for training, other then taking all the linux related classes I can at the local community college (since I'm doing that).

There are several Linux Certifications out there you might want to look into:  Linux +, RedHat Linux Certification, etc...

Here's a google search of "Linux Certifications":

I hope that helps,

Thanks for the link.  I have done a bit of searching through google.  I guess my dilemma stems from the fact that there are so many options and I'm trying to figure out where to focus my efforts and funds so that I can get my foot in the door somewhere while I continue my education.

Seriously; set yourself up a home network. Cheap/free PCs will do, Virtual Machines will do. Set up file servers/web servers, whatever. Break it, fix it. Let your friends break it, then you fix it.

Sign up to related mailing lists. When people ask how to do bizarre things (how can I set up my web server to control my microwave oven?) follow along, and try things out. Either get it to work, or know why it won't.

There is *nothing* that will serve you better than practical experience, even if you've generated it yourself.
