The cisco cert CCIE is as you state with the lab and is very
hard and requires a more skilled person to pass.. There are
also other levels, such as the CCNA which is lower but still
valuable and is based on the 608 exam.
Sun cert is just a basic multiple choice exam and isnt that
diffucult for your more inapt users. It is offerd at many
places over the us. I think, as I have not seen, Red Hat
would be doing the same as Sun has done.
Granted it is not the most affective way of weeding out
professionals vs non-prof users. But it does help some and
it also show that the person is more "serious" about thier
efforst put into the use of the os.
The major effort would be in the creation of the exam
methods and the levels of the exams (as you stated admin,
security) However the need to create "course" material is
only nessary if you want to teach the class's. You can still
have the certification and just allow the people to train
and learn on thier own. Which in a way weeds out the people
who just took the class's to know how to pass the os exam.
(like some mcse's out there.)
