Hey, gotta question. I know that there's your A++ and your Microsoft certification programs, but what do they have for Linux? I'm interested in learning more about this software and I figured I might as well get certified at the same time. Note that this is coming from a guy in Toronto, Canada (just in case there are any nationality/regional differences in programs available). Anyone have any idea?

I'm not sure the answer to your question, but just a note:

It's called A+, and it's useless.
It's the equivalent of getting a 4th grade education.

I am doing my CCNA (Cisco) at the moment and if you can find a place to sit it - I recomend it

I have learned a lot about 'the interweb' in general and have a better understanding of how networks work in general

Another linux certification to think about would be from The Linux Professional Institute. I have no idea about it, I just remember seeing something maybe on slashdot about it quite some time ago. The reason I'm pointing it out is that I believe that they try to be distro neutral with is a good thing imho.

MCSE used to be a good cert, but nowdays, MCSE's are dime a dozen, Trust me I am one. Linux is gaing populatirty, CCNA is always a good one to have too.

MCSE=Must Contact Someone Experienced. I attempted MCSE as a hobby. Quit when it became too expensive. I still read the books though, they have pretty pictures.
The Linux links posted can help me also, as I want to wean myself from Microsoft.

How much does it generally cost to get CCNA certified? and umm... erm.. yeah, how much do you think it'd cost Crimson?

I think CompTIA does a Linux+ cert as well.

Not sure about the difficulty/skill level of the exam though.
