coming from the same country as our man flynn, i'd agree. US$3K+ is over 
RM12,000 in malaysia, and that's about 3-4 months salary for the average 
tech. comparatively, RHCE and MCSE certification runs about RM2K-4K 
(US$500-1000).

i dont really see this certification programme as an "insult" to myself. 
lots of code contributors to the linux projects are not certified engineers 
  with an RHCE tag, and yet it doesn't seem to bother them. granted, there 
are going to be some customers who'd look at the paper qualifications, but 
i think the knowledge and mastery an individual has will trump a 
certification anytime.
