A skill Linux Essentials candidates should have is the capability to discern between an OS and a distribution (with all the overlapping and grey areas between them). Right, however the point is whether the section name should be changed into "Knowledge of major Linux distributions". It's meant as a choosing between different OSes and distros (maybe someone can justify a MS solution, too). I wonder if and why a prospective Linux Essentials certified person would be required to know the differences between a generic Linux distribution, Windows and MacOS X. I've never had any experience of MacOS X, to say one. 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.I added 'locate' to help/man section. nothing on how the locate db gets updated, though. I wouldn't add updatedb to the list, however the candidate should be aware that locate gets it's data out of a database. Knowing that this database is updated by a command called updatedb wouldn't be too much, I opine. I do use sort and cut routinely on the command line, and sometimes xargs as well, but I do agree the later is not a trivial command and probably not very useful to a beginner. All right, I agree. Topic 1.5.4 I think “Hidden files” term should be changed to “doted files” or “non displayed” files. I wonder what they are called in the POSIX documents that describe their behaviour. Does anyone know? I'd take that to be their official name.They deftly avoid calling them anything, I think: How cowardly! :-) Bye, -- Alessandro Selli, http://alessandro.route-add.net VOIP: sip:[email protected] Chiave PGP/GPG Key: EC885A8B |
