Should I go Cisco or Linux?

[marcvi]

Hey, almost finished with my MCSE, just finish up my A+ on the side, going to University of Utah for a computer science degree. I want to get into a major cerification area while I'm still get my CS degree. What do you think. Cisco certifcations or should I look hard into linux and unix? Any advice.

Well I can tell you that the UNIX certification will go a LONG ways in helping you! I would choose UNIX over linux (although they are very similar in nature...But UNIX has the "prestige" that linux does not in the eye's of the general masses)

Depending on which direction you choose to follow the CISCO certifications are really hot right now! In the tele-com area it has become almost a prerequisite.
