As a Linux sysadmin of 17+ years (and now a CIO), this is the best advice posted to this thread. After you complete this I'd suggest Linux From Scratch (http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/) as it'll teach you about the inner workings of a Linux system, which is vital if you want to be a really good sysadmin (a good troubleshooter understands the internals). I would hire someone for an entry level position if they went through this process and if they could explain things at a deep level as that would show me that they have the potential to take it to the next level.
