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.

If it's free, why not.
Will it help you get a job? I've never hired anyone based on a certification, because it doesn't mean experience. Experience is what gets people hired.
Doctors don't get hired without first doing a residency. Mechanics don't get hired because they know all the parts on a car. And I won't get hired by a law firm for simply scoring 99% on an LSAT.
