Ok. This fall I have to either take (and pass) the Novel CNA or the Cisco CNA cert exams. Which one would be more beneficial or are they roughly equal in the current market?

TIA

If all you want is to pass the cert test without learning anything then take the CNA. You can pass it using braindumps.

depending on who you ask, novell is a dying breed. Even if they arnt, MANY upon MANY places are moving to MS/Windows platforms since the computers they are buying already have a networking OS with a CAL for the server. Cisco is the CCNA, and there is a practical on it, it will be harder, imho.

I'm from the "F*ck Novell and may it burn" crowd. Worst OS ever. :p

Besides, they're switching licensing systems to rape the end-user even more. Apparently it's going on unique IDs per-user, and requiring one license per user or "potential connection", not per concurrent connection (which makes sense)

It's actually for a class and passing one of those cert exams counts as our final and 90% of the class grade. I have a feeling I'll learn a few things in the class I'm just wondering which cert will be more beneficial to have on a resume.
