New RedHat introduced new certification - Red Hat Certified Technician (RHCT). finally a cert for Linux support people :P .
According to Red Hat:

We are pleased to announce a new certification: Red Hat Certified Technician (RHCT). RHCT provides performance based certification for Linux techs who are competent to set up new Linux systems and attach these to a production network.

The RHCT Exam is a half-day performance based exam, and will be included in RH133 Red Hat Linux System Administration (4.5 days) starting in January 2003, the fourth anniversary of the RHCE Program.

RHCT is an ideal technician level credential for persons supporting Linux systems throughout the organization. RHCT is a good choice for those transitioning to Linux from non-UNIX OSes, or who want to prove their competencies at a midway point on the way to RHCE, one of the ten hottest certifications in the IT industry.

RHCT tests a technician-specific subset of the skills tested in RHCE:

RHCTs will typically not be making the decisions about how to set up production network services and network security. Thus, RHCT does not test the networking services and network security skills required to earn RHCE.
