i guess if you want to be serious in security, you should know the most used
operating systems.
-Novell netware
-Microsoft 2000/nt
-unix/lkinux

specially the second .....it would not be smart to ignore this. You better
have MCSE 2000 than
red hat, give me one reason for taking red hat. the only and most
interesting thing for companies
is apache webserver, as a client it is no serious competitor for the coming
years, compared to microsoft.
Maybe it is more secure..does this matter? NO, important is what is used,
that counts. The usability of linux
suchs majorly. Also..it is difficult to get people administering linux and
unix

many people still stick to linux....for no reason whatsoever. Often because
of Microsoft as a company,
it is stupid to base your carreer on that i think

besides os's go for products like
- checkpoint firewall (CCSA and CCSE)
- unicert baltimore
- ISS products (scanning and intrusion detection)
-do some cisco
- valicert
- RSA
- combination microsoft windows 2000 and baltimore (believe you me.....)

regards,

Ivo
