Comment on Ask HN: How did you get your first job as an sysadmin?parent

Thanks! Judging from what you see, which one is slightly more useful, Red Hat or Debian/Ubuntu? I assume Debian also has those certifications?

I'm looking forward to transferring to a DevOps from a Data Engineer btw.

You'll Find Red Hat, Debian, and Ubuntu all over - depending on the needs/wants of the shop. General familiarity is good, but there's no harm in specializing.

Just realize that outside of package management (and some quirks that allows), Linux is Linux.

Distributions are all made of roughly the same pieces, they vary slightly in how/where they place them

For example, the things here tend to hold true - being one of many standards:

Thanks, guess I don't need to worry about it.
