Hi all!

I have been studying for Linux+ or an LPI cert and I took a practice test, after which I noticed that I had missed most of the ones that involved options for commands. I have been studying commands and some of the more important options, but I thought that it was impossible to memorize all of the options for all of the commands. Which ones should or shouldn't I memorize?

Thanks,

Hi. "You should be able to perform maintenance tasks with the command line, install & configure a workstation and be able to configure a basic network." I would say search and do things like: "Linux how to network command line," "what to study for Linux Certifications" and so on plus wait for the Gurus they will know way more than me. Could also make this your desktop or terminals background if in a GUI. Best wishes and have fun.

Thanks for the links.

Absolutely true: set up some kind of situation (say, using a virtual machine ...) where you can actually do what these exercises describe. Concoct the most realistic scenario that you can dream-up. Then, have at it.

Set up a virtual machine to a "stock, starting" configuration, then save it so that you can restore it at any future time. Then, dive into each scenario and try to get your hands dirty.

Remember ... this is "adult continuing-education," not "school." If you're a recent grad from high school or University, you're entirely accustomed to "learning how to 'pass the test,' then <<toilet_flushing.wav>>." But if you do that, you're missing both the opportunity and the entire point. The purpose of this kind of continuing-ed is to acquire practical, boots-on-the-ground skills, including very much the ability to correctly assess a situation and to pull out the proper set of tools from your goodie-bag to deal with it. "You can't learn to swim by sitting by the side of the pool, reading a book." You have to get into the pool ... starting, of course, at the shallow end.

I have been doing some practical things on virutal machines. My main concern is how, even if I'm doing practical things on VMs, to store all of those hundreds of command options in my memory?

Thanks!

I ended up guessing this one correctly through process of elimination as it was multiple choice.

But ya, this had me thinking about how many command options I need to remember.

Hi all just want to know is the red hat exam 200 only multiple choice thanks
