CompTIA has published a set of objectives that define the Linux+ certification.
These objectives specify what a Linux system admin with 6??“12 months of
experience should know and be able to do. You can view the Linux+ objectives at
http://certification.comptia.org/linux/. All of the test items on the Linux+ exam are
based on these objectives.
To define the Linux+ objectives, CompTIA organized a volunteer committee
made up of representatives from the IT industry occupying a variety of positions
in their respective organizations. They then asked these individuals ???What does a
Linux administrator with 6??“12 months of experience have to know and be able to
do to be effective on the job???? Using the responses from the committee members,
CompTIA was able to craft a profile that they used to write a series of objectives.
Some sample Linux+ objectives include
?– Configure file systems (for example, ext2 or ext3 or Reiser file system).
?– Manage packages after installing the operating system (for example, install,
uninstall, update, RPM, tar, gzip).
?– Select appropriate parameters for a Linux installation (for example, language,
time zones, keyboard, mouse).
