[SLUG] Value of Red Hat certification ?

[Rod Butcher]

I have a background in mainframe computer programming on IBM systems but 
want to move out of programming into Linux support. I've rolled my own 
linux kernnal & apps for a few years and have a fair idea of how Linux 
works, but only in a home-use environment.
So - I'm considering getting some proper qualifications and am 
considering couses : Red Hat System Adminstrator + Network & Security
Adminstration + Certified Engineer. Total cost = $AU 9100. Any opinions 
out there about how good an approcah this is - can I get a better return 
on my retraining investment ?
thanks
Rod
