Do you want to make a living in Linux?

Do you want to make a living in Linux? -- Linux general technology-Linux technology and application information. For details, refer to the following section. Chinese translation.

What about Linux? So, this can be done, but it is not easy. Linux continues to become increasingly popular, but it is much easier for someone to find a job as a Microsoft Certified System Engineer (mcse.

Cannot the idea work Microsoft software? Then we will consider picking up Web development, extending the markup language (XML), Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), Web Service Definition Language (WSDL) of XMLtrifecta of Web Services, and general descriptions, discovery and Integration (UDDI ). Believe me, with enough understanding of these protocols, you will not have any trouble finding a job this year.

Okay, so you still have to live in Linux. What should you do?

First, you must know about Linux. Some of you may be untrustworthy in the shed. Anyone has read Linux that this magazine does not know. You will be surprised. Not every magazine Reader of Linux has a life and engineering relationship with Linux. If you get paid cash for Linux skills, you need to work with your life and work.

How do you get the professional knowledge? You start with books. I cannot recommend that you do not have enough books to do with Oliver & Associates. They may not end all/All the Linux and open source code volumes, but they are close to any other publisher's book.

At the same time, unless you pick up the OS, such as pick up changes in the garage, you need to do all of your computers using the Linux system. In this way, most professionals learn how to move backwards and the striker is buried in their own theme. This is true whether it is an operating system, a language, or a network.

Some may say that to really understand Linux well, you need an expert c programmer. Their rights-if you want to be a developer. But please note: Are there so many positions for Linux software developers. Unless your hacker or sprout hacker, I do not recommend that you access the Linux system. It does not like Visual Basic, computerized programming, or a database, language, or even a mediocre developer can earn a living.

On the contrary, I think Linux workers should focus on system management, network management, or Web management. These jobs are often consolidated over the days, so it is wise to become competent in all three masters, and at least one.

To do this, you must select a scripting language. I think this is the best way to get basic grep, awk, and based on your SED band, then add Perl and/or Python to your skill talents.

At this point, if you are not already working in these fields, you should set up your own LAN or Web server and work as if it were paid. The only way to get this is to make your hands dirty. There are no library exercises that can be compared with the actual use of things in production.

You may also need to think about authentication. Linux certification is not a way to require employment. It is a job opportunity with Novell, Cisco, or Microsoft that can help you find a job.

If you select the authentication path, you have four options: (CompTIA's Linux +, Linux Professional Institute (low probability of interception), sair's Linux and GNU, and RedHat certified engineers (rhce ).

These (CompTIA Linux + is the opposite of the new generation. However, with their existing A + and net + Technician level certifications and A series of books to be published soon, they are gaining momentum.

From the very beginning, the low interception plan refers to putting the supplier neutral; today, it is almost. Like other backed companies, kardra, IBM, SuSE, linuxcare, And Trina (name, but number) should have become Linux certified. As a majority of volunteers, although the progress has been slow, compared with the efforts of Business Certification.

Rhce is the longest-History and accredited certification. This is also the most advanced technology, all of them. You are more likely to seriously consider having rhce than you do with any other certifications.

Despite its name, sair's Linux and GNU are not officially connected to the GNU organization for other commercial Linux certifications, although Richard stoman does not sit down on sair's steering committee.

For my money, I want to go with rhce. However, if your feet are wet, the Linux + may be better for you.

Remember that, though, authentication is not equivalent to capability. With Linux, the best way to find and maintain work is to have real professional knowledge. No certification or books are available for you. Experience is the only way out.
