[PLUG] Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE certification)

[Sandy Herring]

I got my RHCE last November (RH7.2). My employer paid for the one week
course and exam - otherwise I wouldn't have it. The training did help to
fill in a few holes, but it's mainly a refresher - don't expect to be able
to pass the exam if you have little prior experience with linux (Red Hat in
particular). It's more a validation of what you know than a learning
experience.

I think it was time well spent - and has helped me on the job. But I don't
know how much value it would have in terms of landing a new job. My employer
saw value in sending me and 5 of my cow-orkers in terms of marketing and
sales being able to hype the number of engineers that are certified (we're
all certifiable ;-).
