The Keeper

I'm considering looking for new job where I can work with linux corporate environments. Something along LAMP-servers, possibly linux alternatives to MS AD and Exchange. I don't want to be picky though, just as long as I can get a decently paid job and can advance from there.
So far almost everything I know about linux environments are self-learned, I don't have official training in anything linux. I don't have real job experience when it comes to linux.
So I'm asking, what are corporates looking for when checking résumés and interviewing people? How I can increase my changes to get a new job? Are there for example a certificate or few I really should pick up? Anything else that would look good on résumé and negate lack of job expertise?
Currently I have seven years worth of experience at end-user/corporate tech support (windows platforms) with some windows server experience thrown into the mix. The linux ecperience I have gathered mainly from setting up LAMP-servers for a web-community and experimenting at home. But they do little for me as corporate environments are on totally different scale.
Throw me some hints, please. :)
