Linux Professional Institute LPIC-1 and CompTIA Linux+ 1. Your company recently purchased 12 new computer systems. The computers have Intel Pentium D 2.8 GHz CPUs and 500MB hard drives. Your deployment plan calls for Linux to be installed on them, but the department manager who requested the computers is concerned that this can't be done because they already have Windows 7 preinstalled. Can this be done? A. Yes, but you must install a new hard drive for Linux. B. No, the hardware is probably optimized for Windows and won't support Linux. C. No, modern motherboards are hard coded to recognize your Windows Certificate of Authority. If it doesn't find it, the system won't boot. D. Yes, you can erase the hard drive and install Linux. - >>>>1. D. Hardware and operating systems are modular. As long as the hardware is supported, you can install any operating system designed for your specific CPU architecture. 2. Which of the following represents the actual operating system component within a Linux system? A. Libraries B. Kernel C. Desktop environment D. bash shell functions - >>>>2. B. The Linux kernel is the component that handles operating system functions. 3. Which of the following provides prewritten code elements that programmers can call when writing Linux programs? A. The kernel B. Kernel modules C. Libraries D. bash shell profiles - >>>>3. C. Libraries contain prewritten code that programmers can reuse in their applications. 4. What was the name of the UNIX clone written by Andrew Tanenbaum? A. CPM B. DR-DOS C. Linux D. Minix E. Solaris - >>>>4. D. Andrew Tanenbaum wrote the Minix operating system when universities were no longer allowed access to the UNIX source code. 5. What did Linus Torvalds do with the source code for Linux? A. He sold it to IBM. B. He gave it to Microsoft for free. C. He developed Minix. D. He patented and copyrighted it. E. He posted it on the Internet for anyone who wanted a copy. - >>>>5. E. Linus Torvalds posted the source code for his Linux kernel on the Internet and invited other programmers to modify and enhance it. 6. Who initiated the GNU Project? A. Richard Stallman B. Andrew Tanenbaum C. Linus Torvalds D. Richard Berkley - >>>>6. A. Richard Stallman championed the freely distributable source code concept behind GNU. 7. You are a computer programmer. Your supervisor wants you to download the source code for the latest Linux kernel and modify it to support a custom application your company is developing for use in-house. Can you do this? A. No, the source code for Linux is no longer available on the Internet. B. No, the copyright on the source code won't permit it. C. Yes, but you must pay a royalty to the GNU Project. D. Yes, you can create a new Linux flavor and even redistribute it as long as the source code remains freely available. - >>>>7. D. Under the GPL, you are free to download the Linux source code and modify it. 8. You have been tasked with setting up an e-mail server for your organization of 150 people. You're considering using a Linux system to do this. Is this possible? A. Yes, Linux can be configured to provide e-mail services. B. No, while Linux can be configured to provide e-mail services, it's not recommended for more than 25 users. C. Yes, but you'll have to purchase special e-mail software that's compatible with Linux. D. No currently available commercial groupware software suite has been ported to run on Linux. - >>>>8. A. A variety of powerful e-mail packages are available for Linux that make it highly suitable for large organizations. 9. Which Linux services can be used to configure shared network printing on a Linux server for both Linux and Windows client workstations? (Choose two.) A. MySQL B. NFS C. CUPS D. Samba E. NIS F. OpenPrint - >>>>9. C, D. The CUPS service provides network printing to other Linux systems. When combined with Samba, network printing can be extended to Windows systems (as well as any other operating system that supports Samba, including Linux and Mac OS X). 10. Which services can be used to configure shared file storage on a Linux server for network users using Windows or Linux workstations? (Choose two.) A. MySQL B. NFS C. PostgreSQL D. Samba E. NIS F. FileManager - >>>>10. B, D. The NFS service can be used to provide file sharing for systems running an NFS client. The Samba service can also be used to support Samba-compatible clients, such as Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux systems. 11. Which services can be installed on Linux to configure the system as a database server? (Choose two.) A. MySQL B. NFS C. PostgreSQL D. Samba E. NIS F. Microsoft SQL - >>>>11. A, C. MySQL and PostgreSQL are both powerful Linux database
