I think Red Hat's certifications get more notice in mainstream society but 
there are several certifications that are general and non-vendor specific.
check out the articles here:

some people will say certification smertification. what you really need is to 
show the people you know what the hell you are talking about. i say what 
better way to show people that you know the stuff is to get tested on it by a 
recognized testing organization. if you really know what you talk about and 
it is not hype why be afraid to take the test(s) and get certified. not only 
that but if employers require that somebody be certified, then that will be 
a 'weed-out' emphasis that will get your resume thrown in the trash quickly.
