what are my chances to become a Linux System Administrator at 48?

Q. I am trying to change career(unemployed) and I am a newbie in technology except that I did some html & CSS. I wonder if I study Linux for a year & maybe pass a linux+ certification I will be able to get an entry level position? Is it too old at 48 to try? Or maybe should I focus on something like PHP/Mysql? I am trying to decide what would be the easy road and the rewarding one as well. Thanks.

A. With RHCE, you are never too old.

what kind of hourly wage could i expect with a A+ certification?
Q. I plan on taking it this summer and was wondering where could i work and what kind of pay i would receive. I plan on taking my linux certification this winter any idea what that pays?

A. Really dont expect much. A+ is the basics of basics. Depending on your area and where you apply, you will probably start a few dollars ($2-4) over minimum wage, if you have no job experience. Linux certifications are only meaningful if the place you are apply has any Linux machines in the first place. Most of the business world runs Windows, and then if at all, they run Linux for task specific jobs, which are basically set and forget.

I installed Fedora 13 for a class, how do I get back to vista?
Q. I followed instructions in our book Linux+ Guide to Linux Certification 3rd edition in project 2. Please help I really don't know what's going on. Step by step instructions would be nice. Thanks.

A. If you did not allow the option for resizing the Windows drive and creating its' own partitons in the free space this creates during install, you have lost Vista. If you had ot would offer you the option to boot from Vista each time you start up. You would now need to re-install it from the original OS disk. You will need to use the advanced option to delete all partitions and create one new one to load on. All your data is gone.
