Nick, you said, " ... getting a RH specific cert felt like a waste of my time

gotten RHCE as it's just more widely known and you don't have to
defend/explain yourself every time. "
$Work has also been making a push for certification, and while I haven't gone
through the RHEL classes yet, several admins who I respect have done so and the
reports are pretty good.
They really do make you work for it and show that you know RedHat
The one negative that I've heard is that you end up having to memorize a bunch
of stuff that in normal use you would just lookup (man pages, google, etc). Not
really surprising, and not a critical flaw.
I've worked with a bunch of "certified" people over the years, and most of the
time I have not been terribly impressed. I'm sure that there are some RHCE who
aren't that good, but they have to know _something_ to get it.
