Yes, I have taken the cSage and even passed. It has a good mixture of SysV and BSD on the unix portion of the exam, and the other portion covers administration that isn't necessarily unix specific, such as TCP/IP, hardware, and backup planning.  You should have experience with multiple types of unix, and probably 1 year real world experience, or you'll be stumped on some of the questions.  It is targetted at junior to intermediate level sysadmins, much like LPI 1 and LPI 2.  It seems to be a fair exam, a bit pricy but they had a discount going on when I took it..  I wouldn't exactly call it a cake-walk as there's no study guide (not even 3rd party, or at least there wasn't when I took the cSage), just a list of possible topics and suggested books to read.
