    Unfortunately, employers do not look at it this way.  
    Everytime I read the career section of the local
    newspapers, they all want some certifications such as
    MSCE for jobs like network administrators.  As a FreeBSD 
    user, I will never want to have these certifications, 
    but it also means that I will never get those type of 
    jobs.  Bummer.
