When we employ we actually almost count certification as a black mark (I say almost to get the point across). If you know computers, you don't need a cert to get a job, unless you're a newbie, and then it doesn't mean much anyway. I do believe however that if your potential employer is a book type (ie lawyer, accountant) then they will go for those with qualifications because that is all they know, (no offence to those of you that may fit that bill)!
FYI I have read recently that the new Sony Playstation will have a DV Editing suite available as a hard disk add-on. It apparantley has some kind of underlying IOS, which the OS sits on top of. I believe there are currently three different OS's made, the gaming one by Sony, a specialist DV editing one, and a Linux one, so I'd guess you could set up with that? Also you could probably make a portable box with it in it along with a car battery and an inverter that may enable it to be semi portable for you.
