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.

Have you considered the cheaper LFCS (Linux Foundation Certified Sysadmin) instead? It might be easier for the company to "swallow" and it's more general Linux instead of mainly Red Hat based. I took it this year and it's pretty standard System Administrator stuff.

I'll look into that, thanks!
