How useful is an MS from US university by distance learning course?

Asty asked:


I have a two year experience and I want to go for a MS in Computer Science in Spring 2009. By that time I will have about 3 years of experience. What is scope of an MS degree via distance learning from some US university? Will I be eligible for campus placements? Is it treated on par with regular course?
Actually I am considering distance education because of financial issues. Please give your suggestions. Thanks.
