So I gave up on them. Let them pay out the nose, if they insist. It's good to get feedback on a hunch that Linux is going to keep growing. Even though I'm studying Net+ and am planning on studying CCNA, Linux System Admin is where I'd like to really land. So, thanks all.

I really prefer Linux, and I'm really interested in Unix in general, but I wonder, what are the job prospects like for Unix based certifications? I read somewhere that most (this was at least five years ago) mainframes and servers (something like 85%) are Unix based, but you can't always tell if the info on the net is accurate or not. Any thoughts on this? Presently, I've after Net+ and CCNA and was considering doing Security+ too. However, Linux remains in the back of my head all the time. Especially since I've writing this on a Linux box. What does everyone else think?
