I am currently studying Linux + for my XK0-002 certification. My question is this. Does anyone have any knowledge on what type of questions the CompTia certification ask? I just want to be prepared and ready. Thanks

Hi,

why don't use google? CompTia itself provides some test questions here.

I have a list of sample tests and other certification related resources at http://aplawrence.com/Tests/

Thanks in advance,

You could answer most of these by doing things like "man help", "man chmod" etc. at your command line or looking them up at http://www.linuxmanpages.com/

The only one you can't obviously do that way is number 4, but your answer is in "man bash" (or "info bash"). However, that's rather terse: I'd suggest getting a good general book on Bash.

Or just Google for "shell redirection".

XK0-002 ? Isn't that based on 2004 objectives. I rather would take up the beta exam or wait untill the 2009 objectives are released!
