Re: is Linux Certification neccesary?

I don't think this is any change.  They still require that you pass the 
RHCT/RHCSA exam before the RHCE - they just renamed it to RHCSA.  


I just sent them a query to see if they'll grant my RHCE in light of the 
changes, but I'm not holding my breath.

Sounds like with RHEL 6 and the replacement of the RHCT with RHCSA, they have 
solved problems similar to yours:

"Under Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and earlier, RHCTs are required to re-test on 
RHCT elements when they take the RHCE exam. Under Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, 
those who earn RHCSA will not be tested again on those same skills. They need to 
only take the RHCE exam. Both exams will typically be available the same day and 
will be offered frequently, thus giving candidates considerable flexibility in 
scheduling."
