*Laugh*. Unix--er, Linux--has hundreds of commands that just don't
make sense until the first time you need 'em. I can't see how any
certification can teach *all* the commands. To be any good, it had
better teach the concepts of scripting and programming, and how to
research what you need.
BTW, I've been in Unix since around 1980. I do anything that pays the
rent, but going back to Unix is like slipping on an old, comfortable pair
of slippers. Linux, when I ran into it, was like being back at Bell Labs
in 1983--we have the Source, and aren't afraid to use it.
