Where did you take it?

What was the cost?

What were your motivations for seeking certification?  What do you expect 
will be the pragmatic result of possessing certification?

I've been going back and forth in my mind concerning Linux certification.  
But most of my "certification" experience is with working with MCSEs who 
couldn't window there way out of a glass house, so I've become skeptical.  
But at the same time I can see in some situations where it might be nice 
to have some letters to plant after my name.
