Linux+ Exam

[Chris Wagner]

Great job, Kevin.

I'm a little behind you.

Well, OK, alot.....  :-/

That's all right, though.

I really just enjoy learning from you all.  :-)

Better than reading any 1,000+pg book....

Take care,

Chris

> Hello fellow luggers.  I passed the Linux+ today with an 860/900.  I thought

> take it, brush up on you're A+ hardware knowledge, about 10-15% of the exam
> was hardware related.  As usual with Comptia exams, many questions seemed
> illogical and had poor wording.. Afew examples:
> 
> What comamnd line parameter will allow you to see usage information for most
> linux commands:
> 
> A) -h
> B) -help
> C) (obviously wrong answer)
> D) (obviously wrong answer)
> 
> ... Now, afew questions before, it had a question about a shell script called
> 'a,sh' (seriously, it has a comma instead of a period), so I wasn't sure if
> they forgot the extra - before -help, or if they wanted -h.  Do you feel lucky
> punk, well do ya!?
> 
> Another one that bugged me,
> 
> Your users about unable to obtain IP addresses automatically.  After rebooting
> the server and issuing 'dhcpd start', the issue is not resolved.  After
> changing to the proper directory, what command will resolve this issue.
> 
> A) dhcpd restart
> B) dpchd start
> C) touch dhcpd.leases
> D) (obviously wrong answer)
> 
> ... Note the 'After changing to the proper directory' bit... Again, Do ya feel
> lucky!?
> 
> All in all, I would say it was a good test, and covered a wide range of
> material, but if you have already had afew years experience with
> administration of production servers, go for something harder like LPIC or
> RHCE.
