I have RHCT & RHCE certifications.  Since a person is required to actually do 
actual work on an actual system using actual RHEL, I feel Red Hat's certs are 
very respectable.  It isn't a simulation nor a multiple-choice or questionare 
exam.  If you can do (enough of) the work, you pass; otherwise, you don't.  
Simple as that.

Also, RHCT/RHCE/RHCA, etc. are considered to be amongst the most well 
respected computer/IT certifications, period.  Not just in Linux, but even 
when compared to Sun, Cisco, and so forth.

So, I would have to say, the RHCE is a good idea.
