I think it was worth the £2000 as it has made a difference when going
for Linux roles and consultancy. Most companies know Red Hat and many
specifically ask for RHCE. I did it also to improve my understanding of
RHEL4 and I am thinking about doing the new upgrade course for RHCEs for
RHEL5. There is no guarantee it will get you work but if you are serious
about Linux, I'd go for it.
