When the RHCE was first introduced to Australia, it came to Sydney and I was in the first class offered, taught but the first Australian to get RHCE certified overseas and be able to teach it here.
We did it on RH6.2. I loved the course and thought it was one of the best certifications I sat, a little biased since I've loved Linux for a long time. I've only ever once received an email from Red Hat Australia, saying that I can become one of their consultants if I commit to an expensive membership with them. From there they said I could possibly get work directed my way (I was a contracting consultant at the time) by them. I didn't take it on board as the cost didn't seem worth it, when I was flatout working in various other areas anyway and didn't need more work. Apart from that, I've really need no more "support" or any other benefits to the certification. I didn't do it to get more work, nor to make a career for myself (as I was a senior UNIX engineer already anyway), but did it as I was passionate about Linux for so long and wanted it. I have no regrets and would do it again in a second if I had to do it over, but it certainly would have been nicer with more Red Hat support to their certified engineers. I dislike Microsoft with a passion, but I've done the MCSE and must say MS supported me much more with technet subscriptions and the like.
