nope, not distro specific! Good!

Yes, fundamentals of mount, dd, and whatnot are covered in level 1. It
doesn't mean, however, that the same skills aren't required to accomplish
higher level tasks in Level 2 (in other words, to manually fix a
filesystem and such, you still have to use mount as a Sr admin even if
mounting CDs and such were covered in Level 1, as an example). So, the
stated objective isn't "know how to use mount", it's "maintain a
filesystem by utilizing tools such as mount" and such. Specifics on the
use of an already covered tool won't be focused on during item writing.
Instead it will focus on accomplishing a higher goal. Does this make
sense?
