Practice labs
- Type the command name in the blank: For twenty task descriptions you type the right command name and see your score from a checker script.
- Type the right option in the blank: You complete the missing option in fifteen partial commands and verify each by running it in the terminal.
- Type the same job for two distributions: You type the full command for ten package and service tasks on both a Debian-based and an RPM-based system and try them on each.
- Locate the file each setting lives in: You write which file each of fifteen settings lives in and check the file exists on the system.
- Write what the fields in command output mean: In ten fragments of df, free, ps and ip output you write the meaning and value of the field asked for.
- Predict a command's output before running it: You write down the output of ten commands with redirection, quoting and pipes first, then run them and explain the differences.
- Mini round on first-exam topics: You answer fifteen short questions on architecture, packages and file systems in fifteen minutes and see your score by topic.
- Mini round on second-exam topics: You answer fifteen short questions on the shell, administration, services and networking and check your misses in the terminal.
- Mixed round weighted by topic: You solve twenty-five questions picked by topic weight in twenty-five minutes and identify your two weakest topics.
