It's the biggest load of BS. When I hear fellow Microsoft

what feeds the negative views of Microsoft professionals.

Big-time dittos there -- "I ... current have a real hard time
find[ing] good Linux professionals to work for me."
That's the problem. You have the normal lack of
professionals (in general) used to travel, contracts,
professionalism, etc... Then you have the added problem of
Linux knowledge. It is so very, very difficult to find the
combination.

Exactomundo.
Regardless of what you think of certification in general (I
loathe it, and have complained about the "cert whore"
industry where you have to do "tricks"), the non-profit Linux
Professional Institute (LPI) is trying to do its best to
further the concerns of Linux Professionals and employeers
alike ... world-wide.
[ E.g., the US is #3 in number of LPI certified individuals.
