The certifications are a great way to gain recognition of your skill set, but smart companies, also check whether you have the skills to match the certification. After all, there are many that can memorize material for a test, but not actually understand the material involved.
I will talk later about certification specifics. If you would like to research now, Microsoft has MCSE (Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer) for Windows. For UNIX, you have SCSA (Sun Certified Systems Administrator) and SCNA (Sun Certified Network Engineer) for the Solaris operating system. And for Linux, there are many, but the one most recognized in the industry is RHCE (Red Hat Certified Engineer) for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). Another one that could potentially become popular, due to the popularity of the Ubuntu Linux, is LPI 199 or Ubuntu 199. One can become an Ubuntu Certifed Professional if they pass Linux Professional Institute's LPI 101, LPI 102, and LPI 199 (Ubuntu 199).
