RHCE and RHEL 6


Last week RedHat announced RHEL 6. While I have yet to really dig into this product, I got an email letting me know that my RHCE is no longer current. While working in Omaha I received my RHCE under RHEL 4. I can’t complain much since I was in the RHEL 4 pilot class so I have been certified almost the full length of RHEL 4 and RHEL5.
The question really is; do I re-certify? From my understanding I am always an RHCE and always will be just depends if I am current or not. The biggest benefit I get is being able to take the RHCA cert exams. Perhaps I should see what the differences are between the two versions. Not really looking forward to shelling out $800.
