*Hello all,* I have read the “Linux Essentials” objectives, I have some ideas which I would like to share them with you:
*Topic 1.1.1:* I think we should list the major commercial/open source distributions like Fedora, Ubuntu, RHEL and SUSE as well. The candidates should be aware of the existence of major distributions. Also, although I'm a CentOS lover, I think CentOS can be removed form this list because it is just derived from RHEL sources. *Topic: 1.2.2* The candidates should be also be aware of distributions software support model & the meaning of Long Term Support (LTS) in some Enterprise distribution. Also I think, the “Description” part: “Knowledge of major Linux Operating Systems..” should be changed to “ Knowledge of major Linux distributions...” *Topic 1.2.5* “netstat” command is very difficult to understand for beginners. I think we should add “ping”, “tracepath” and a simple command with “dig” functionality, like “nslookup” or “host” command. *Topic 1.3.3* We can also add XZ & 7z, 7-zip suite as well. They are very popular these days, *Topic 1.3.4* xargs, sort & cut are some advanced topics mainly used in scripts, I think they do not fill in Essential Skills of Linux, they are also covered in LPIC-1. I think we should add the “locate” command here instead. *Topic 1.5.4* I think “Hidden files” term should be changed to “doted files” or “non displayed” files.
