Have you checked out the USAIL at - http://www.ussg.iu.edu/usail/index.html or Linux Rute Users Tutorial at - http://www.pucmmsti.edu.do/materias/fnunez/RUTE_TUT/RUTE.html also the Linux Professional Institute - http://lpi.org/en/certification.html Also, there are books out there and tests to practice on. The biggest problem I have seen is getting the machines needed to do some actual set up and testing in real life. (servers, etc. ) Maybe that's something we can play around with in tclug. I am finishing up the CCNA certification right now. I have signed up for a Sun Solaris 9 set of courses to get certified. I am working on the (heaven forbid) MCSE, because they are out there and I keep having to work with Bill's software-of-the-month club. Most of the certification is minimal in value. However, it is required by a lot of places as a way to show, along with your experience, that you may really know this stuff.

Is there a market for RHCE certified people??

If you're looking for a job that is directly related to linux, the RHCE would be a good certification to show them that you know your stuff. Especially if during an interview you explain to them that it is a hands on test of real world knowledge, not just a test of whether or not you read the book. That said, I just took the RHCE test and failed it miserably. (I passed the RHCT without much trouble on the first try) If you do go for the RHCE, I would recommend taking the class, asking questions in the class on ANYTHING you don't understand, being VERY familiar with the current release of Redhat (not Debian, not Slackware, Redhat) and getting a good nights sleep the night before!
