Redhat's RHCE the hottest cert for 2006

Certcities.com, the online magazine for certified IT professionals, has released the 2006 edition of its 10 Hottest Certifications for 2006 list, rating the Redhat Certified Engineer (RHCE) qualification as the most influential certification for 2006.

Buli Tikolo, training manager at South African Redhat partner Obsidian Systems, explains why this hands-on approach is so important.
