Care to elaborate?

Getting a "Linux certification" means about as much as a B.A. in philosophy. All you need is to know your shit and preferably have a CS degree, and you can start making shekels.

Needless to say since you likely won't have much if any experience right out of uni, the degree itself is still highly appealing to potential employers. Better than applicants with degrees in other fields or none at all.
