Subject: Linux+ Exam

>
> Hello fellow luggers.  I passed the Linux+ today with an 860/900.  I
thought it was pretty easy, and anyone who has some experience with linux in
a production envrioment should have no problems passing it.  If you decide
to 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.
