I can't say for sure, but the last time I did a quick job search, I
found a lot more hits for jobs that wanted/preferred/needed an RHCE than
an LPI. It just seems that a lot more people know what an RHCE
certification means and that's just not the case for an LPI cert. Now I
will admit that the RHCE exam is *very* expensive (around $800) but I
believe that a part of that reason is because it's an all-day hands-on
exam. You just don't walk into a testing center, answer 60
multiple-choice questions and leave an hour or two later (the Brocade
Certified Fabric Professional Exam I'm studying for is like that - it's
a $150 exam that you complete in 90 minutes). For the RHCE exam, you're
there fixing broken installations, a system that won't boot, and doing a
full install from scratch with a boatload of applications and
requirements.
