most options yes but what about this: Code Listing 5.5: untarring using a pipeline <pre>$ bzip2 -dc linux-2.4.16.tar.bz2 | tar xvf - I saw a question with a very similar question on the test. Also, not everyone needs to run a web server, there were a lot of apache question's on my test (also samba and nfs are on it). believe me when I say you can work on a linux system for 6 months and not pass. Also there are 2 version's of the test. In version 2 they recommend 1 year, and I understand it's twice as hard. In fact that's the version I took. Oh and it would be more correctly put 6 months to 1 year 'administrating' a system. You can be a user and ignorant. </pre> <div>On 2/1/06, Szymon Machajewski <<a href="mailto:SMachaje@grcc.edu">SMachaje@grcc.edu</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Linux+ assumes a 6 month practice in real life with a Linux system.  If you've played with it at home for whatever silly reason you'll recognize most of the options: cp -rf, tar -xzvf etc. I think there are many command options that would cross eyes of the geekies gurus.  Linux+ assume a beginner knowledge.

But if you look at the test objectives hardware is a small portion, and what I meant is I only remember one pure hardware question. meaning that it would apply to a window's server as well as linux. there were question's about lspci, ifconfig, lvm, raid, and the like, but they weren't OS independant. for me personally I worry less about studying the hardware (save maybe SCSI) because I remember most of it from my Prep for A+, and Network+, both of which I am certified in. I've taken 4 CompTIA tests total. I still think the hardest part about linux+ is remembering option's for commands.
