Certifications, do they mean anything
I was in a discussion with Kuru of Arabeyes. It started with a question about RHCE, and ended up as a discussion about certifications in general, and if they mean anything. Kuru believes that they are meaningless, and prove nothing. In the other hand, I believe that they prove a minimal level of skills and knowledge.
Taking RHCE or LPI for as an example, obtaining one of those certifications proves you a certain level of knowledge and skills in the fields that those certification cover. Many people get certified as a prove of skills for their employers, or to be prepared to get engaged in new roles. But others get certified as a self-assurance, and a self prove of ability.
Not everyone need to be certified in my opinion, but being certified sure means something. If not for your work and employer, at least for yourself. It is a challenge that you were able to overcome and Konquere :)
