I beg to differ!<br><br>A cert in Microsoft means nothing other than (l)user passed a test. They can do this without ever touching a computer.<br><br>The RHCE means that engineer has passed a rigorous field test of both theoretical as well as practical, hands-on troubleshooting.<br>
<br>It is not possible to pass the RHCE exam without several years of experience. While general Linux skilz would be useful, the exam is very geared toward a professional engineer working in a high-count RHEL environment. A solid understanding of how to setup and configure a RHEL server for a variety of common needs each with a bit of a twist is a requirement to survive the test. The test has a 50% first pass rate. Only the CNA test is viewed higher by those signing paychecks. There are additional, higher-order RHEL tests, RHCA - RedHat Certified Architect , that requires a RHCE to start plus 5 of 7 additional specialty certifications.<br>

I guess by this point it's not much different from getting a job doing<br>
Microsoft: 1) Get Red Hat certificate 2) Apply. Seems there's little<br>
market outside of the RH vertical.<br>
