Red Hat Pushes For CC Certification By Year's End

Ridgelift writes "This article indicates Red Hat Linux is about to receive certification under the Common Criteria (CC) Scheme worldwide. This has been a long road for Red Hat, and 'once successfully certified in the UK, Red Hat products will be recognised as certified and approved by information security agencies from all 19 countries participating in the Common Criteria program.' This means Red Hat will sit alongside Sun Solaris, HP-UX and IBM's AIX."

OK I'm a bit biased as a CCIE but your confusing certs with experience certs have become just a test to make sure your somewhat compotent. A good hiring manager takes them for what they are just a test that shows you have a minimal ammout of education.

Now the CCIE tract is more for thery and for me it was exposure to old school antiquated techs like IPX, frame relay and RIP to name a few. Many a CCIE spends there days working out thery and big broad strokes of a Network Arch not plunking away at a keyboard (we get flunkies for that, what did you thinkt he CCNA and CCNE's were for :) thats why your average shop dosent have any CCIE's on staff but calls them in when they make big changes.
