Red Hat and Cisco certs are apparently pretty good.  I've not come
across any others that I'd think worthwhile, and MCSE will count against
you if I'm sent your CV.

Mostly because every idiot and his dog claim to have an MCSE, but also
because I feel insulted by people who think I should care about
Microsoft.  Irrational?  Sure, but no more irrational than rejecting
people because they're football fans.
