    it cant take more than a couple months because the classes are only one semester long.

    If I were you I would get a database certification for either MS SQL Server or Oracle. Linux is very complex with millions of commands. Databases are a bit more limited in the learning curve and easier to find books and classes on. Pick a specialty like database administration. Huge demand for both MS and Oracle.

    Depends on how much time you’ll be willing to spend on learning any of the three, and let’s not forget the disposition for them…
    If this will be for a job, then think about it… What do you prefer from that list? (becasue you’ll be working in that area the entire time afterwards, and people will be conting on you to get the job done…).
    There’s no “this one’s easier to learn” here.. It’s all about you…
