My $.02. I'm not interested - too few years left to work. I'm also not
convinced that memorization of specific commands is worth more than
the ability to find what you need quickly via man, google, or plain
ole printed matter.

That being said, I'm sure that being certified may help you qualify as
a candidate, but if you want something really useful you probably
should take the RedHatosoft exams since many companies have swallowed
the RedHat === Linux line.
