Question 1

In Linux, a(n)____ is used to accept input from the user and pass the input to the kernel for processing.&#10;A)processor&#10;B)user interface&#10;C)swap memory&#10;D)shell

Accepted Answer

In Linux, the shell is the user interface that accepts input from the user and passes it on to the kernel for processing. The shell is the command-line interpreter that allows users to interact with the Linux operating system. It takes input from the user, interprets it, and executes it as shell commands.

Question 2

A swap partition contains a filesystem.

Accepted Answer

A swap partition does not contain a filesystem. It is used as a virtual memory space for the system and is not directly accessible or usable as storage space by the user.

Question 3

Which Linux command gets you out of your current shell?&#10;A)exit&#10;B)stop&#10;C)reset&#10;D)clear

Accepted Answer

The exit command is used to exit the current shell you are in and return to the parent shell. The other options (stop, reset, clear) do not serve this purpose.

Question 4

The largest problem during installation is initiating a graphical installation.

Accepted Answer

This is because some hardware configurations may not be recognized or supported by the graphical installer, which could lead to the need to use a text-based installer or troubleshoot the issue before continuing with the installation.

Question 5

The recommended size for the /boot filesystem is ____.&#10;A)30 MB&#10;B)40 MB&#10;C)50 MB&#10;D)60 MB

Accepted Answer

The recommended size for the /boot filesystem is around 50 MB. This is because it needs to have enough space to store multiple kernel images and initramfs files, which can take up significant space over time. It is also important to note that some distributions may require even more space for /boot, so it is important to check the specific requirements for your distribution.

Question 6

The ____ type of filesystem is compatible with the Windows FAT filesystem.&#10;A)ext3&#10;B)REISER&#10;C)ext2&#10;D)VFAT

Accepted Answer

VFAT is specifically designed to be compatible with the FAT filesystem used by Windows, allowing for easy file sharing between Windows and Linux systems. The other options (ext3, REISER, ext2) are not compatible with the Windows FAT filesystem.

Question 7

The ____ filesystem contains system commands and utilities.&#10;A)/opt&#10;B)/var&#10;C)/boot&#10;D)/usr

Accepted Answer

The /usr filesystem is where system commands and utilities are typically located on a Linux system. This includes things like the bash shell, basic text editors, and networking utilities.

Question 8

Which Linux command displays your login name?&#10;A)who&#10;B)whoami&#10;C)id&#10;D)w

Accepted Answer

The whoami command displays the current login name of the user.

Question 9

If the firewall option is enabled, the Linux system prevents most traffic from entering your computer.

Accepted Answer

If the firewall option is enabled, it will block most of the incoming traffic to your Linux system, providing an additional layer of security.

Question 10

In Linux, a &#34;-&#34; precedes a(n)____.&#10;A)argument&#10;B)option&#10;C)keyword&#10;D)command

Accepted Answer

In Linux, a "-" before a letter or word represents an option. For example, "-h" is an option to display help information. Arguments are values or data presented after the command and options have been specified. Keywords are not typically preceded by a "-" and represent reserved words in the programming language. Commands do not use a "-" to indicate its function.
