Overview Of Linux+

As the topic implies, this post is intended to give you an overview of my Linux+ exam.
After much consideration, I finally took my Linux+ exam today. This was one of the exams on my to-do list since the very beginning, so I am very excited to have passed it.
As it is typical for CompTIA exams, you’re allowed 90 minutes to complete the exam, and it consisted of 98 questions. To my surprise, all questions were multiple choice, with no other unsual pattern such as “choose 2 or 3″ or “choose all that apply”.
The questions were pretty straight forward, and I did not find that many tricky questions as in my other exams.

Topics you should be familiar with for Linux+ include:
Permissions - You definitely gotta know your permission and how umask affects them.
Commands - You definitely gotta know certain commands and switches which are necessary, and very important to Linux.
Shell Variables - You gotta know what some variables mean, and how you can set them in bash, ksh, and so forth.
Apache - Know where the default files reside, where does it log errors, different configurations, etc.
SSH - You gotta know how to connect to a Linux server remote, and some other commands related to ssh.
Algorithms - Believe it or not I had about two questions on algorithms on this exam.
Printers - Gotta know the commands such as lpr,lprm, lpq, and so forth. Also know how to start and stop printers, how to modify the print queue, etc.
Linux Documentation - Know where you can find the lastest version of the kernel, and where do the user docs reside on the system.
VI - Know you’re way around VI, from editting to saving, and running a command while you have VI open.
Ports - Know the different ports for services such as ftp, ssh, smtp, etc.
NIS - Know how to configure it and what it is used for.
Filesystems - You gotta know your filesystems for Linux. Know how to create filesystems, and how to mount them, including swap.
That’s all I can remember for now. I will update this thread if I recall anything else.I’ll also be finalizing my study guide during the rest of the week, and probably next week as well.And now for my score, it was 890 out of 900!!!
I guess I missed only one question but it’s rather difficult for me to know which one as I must have guessed correctly on about 4-5 questions that caught me totally off guard.Needless to say I am EXTREMELY excited about this.more certifications,visit http://www.killtest.com
