From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It cheaper alternative it RHCE. It should be able to persuade a potential employer that when they put you next to a Linuxbox the result most likely won't be an explosion. It did work for me and I got my first IT job with it, paradoxically with Red Hat. While being there I got also RHCE (both certificates are long expired now) and it was a way more practical and thorough. Whereas LFCS is much more wide (including LDAP and similar exotics if I remeber correctly), RHCE is much more deep.
As usual, you get what you pay for.
