prepare-all is a Debian-ism.

However, it looks like it's been removed from what I can see.

I'm going to add "drop prepare-all" to the addendum for Apr 1st but see below
about cloneconfig.  I think it should stick around but I'm open to dropping
it.

Yep, SUSE-ism.

We do have a few of these "only on 1 or 2 major distros" topics peppered
around the exams.  There are way bigger examples in the objectives if you
look, though ;)

How do people feel about having these sorts of things on the exams?


In one sense, I like them because it "encourages" people to learn more about
multiple distributions.

In another sense, though, it could cause some panicky studiers (is that a
word?) to overstudy.


In this case, though, prepare-all and cloneconfig are such minute parts of
this objective, I doubt that it would make a difference between pass and
fail for someone.
