<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; widows: 2; orphans: 2; "></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; widows: 2; orphans: 2; ">I am just wondering how many people work a full time job working on just Linux? I see many job postings out there for Windows Admins ..etc with experience in Linux (1/90th of the job role). Over the last few years I have been dreaming of the day I can do it full time. I don't see many job postings out there for these types of positions.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; widows: 2; orphans: 2; "><br></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; widows: 2; orphans: 2; "> What is the best way to break into some of these roles? Do you pick a disto like Red Hat or SUSE and get certified in them, or do you start to implementing open source solutions like request tracker, sugar crm..etc running on a Linux system and build your experience that way? Can you get a Linux Admin role by just passing the LPI exam?</p>
