Your question is not clear. Are you asking about the Linux+ certification from CompTIA - or the various Linux certifications (Linux+ / LPI / SAIR / RHCT/RHCE)? Since your question is limited to the LA area, are you asking about specific courses and / or bootcamps? Or are you asking if it makes a difference which certification you get in the LA IT market? You might ask your question on a regular Linux newsgroup where others have asked Linux cert related questions before. Check groups.google.com for details. Thanks, Mike
