Chen, Guy, et al.
There aren't any certification programs in Israel at this time?
No RHCE, LPI, Sair Linux & GNU?
While the value of a certification is only as good as the people doing the
teaching/testing, (and measured by the the companies that take the cert. as
a credible sign of knowledge)
there are always on-line options such as www.brainbench.org ...
I certainly don't suggest that IGLU start running a cert. center, but
perhaps you could convince the company that re-distributes RedHat for the
Israeli market, and if they didn't want to bring the cert. program, then
contact RedHat directly. RedHat wants professionals and businesses using
RedHat, and I'd bet they'd be surprised if their partner in Israel isn't
interested in helping acheieve that goal...
The questions about who comes to do the reboot (or serious fix)? for NT,
it's the service org they've hired to provide support. For RedHat, it's what
comes with the different levels of service contract.

IANARHB (I am not a RedHat Bigot) I think SuSE and TurboLinux also have
these sorts of service contracts available. I'm unsure about Mandrake,
Debian, and others.
