A+ is... kinda... meh from my understanding.  In the network certs they
might carry more weight than the coding ones.

Cisco cert is good, but prolly expensive.... and probably many options to
choose from.

Similar with a redhat cert prolly not a bad idea but might be $$$ ?

If you can get involved with the colo in other thread or similar other
stuff, it'd prolly help to have other world experience going on.

There's also fun to be said for a $80/year vps to play around on :)
