Red Hat's RHCE, now two years old and available worldwide, is a performance-based certification to test actual competency in managing Linux servers for enterprise roles. Participants can take the RHCE Exam at any Red Hat facility or Red Hat Certified Training Partner facility worldwide. IDC also states that Red Hat holds 50.2 percent of Linux vendor market share and that Red Hat Linux is by far the most popular distribution, preferred by 68.7 percent of U.S. Linux users. IDC research shows 40 percent of all spending on Linux servers is for Internet related applications, firmly entrenching Linux servers in the Internet infrastructure. Finally, IDC predicts that by 2002, there will be more than 55 million handheld and notebook-style information appliance devices and that by 2005, shipments of these appliances will exceed shipments of PCs.
