hey....is there institutes in delhi/gurgaon providing these kinds of certification courses...??
Actually, i am thinking of doing some short term courses in linux as a part of my summer training for B.E.....!!! As also, im not so good and just started linuxing so i have to go from scratch. b4 going for a big move in this field.

Do these courses (above mentioned certifications) start from scratch or should one have some basic knowledge of linux/unix before enrolling for them ???

Look for RHCE (Redhat Certified Engineer) which will give you an insight of administering server redhat ssystems. It takes 3 months for this course after which you are required to pass in an exam to get your RHCE certificate. No need to worry since you will be taught basics of linux in this course.

AFAIK It's Linux System Administration generally, shell scripting and a little bit of Perl, and Python.
