Chappa 3 - Linux Installation, localization

During installation, you need to make sure there is plenty of hard disk space allocated to the partition that is going to hold the entire Linux operating system. Which of the follwoing is the BEST mount point for this partition?

/

You are installing Linux on an old computer with an old BIOS, and you are planning the partitions for the hard disk drive. Which of the following directories SHOULD exist in the first 1024 cylinders of the hard disk drive?

/boot

Which of the following directories MUST remain on the same partition? (Select THREE).

/dev /sbin /lib

What is the full path to the directory that contains user data for all standard users on the system?

/home

You are in the process of manually creating the partitions during a Linux installation. Knowing that users will often require a lot of space to store their files, which of the following directories (or mount points) SHOULD be configured on its own partition?

/home

Most Linux distributions propose to create the root (/) and swap partitions by default. To prevent user files and system log files from filling up the / partition, which additional partitions are you MOST strongly advised to create? (Select TWO).

/home /var

Which of the following directories MUST be part of the partition that holds the root (/) directory? (Select THREE).

/proc /etc /bin

If not cleared out, log files can eventually consume a large amount of data, sometimes filling a drive to its capacity. If the log files are on the same partition as the operating system, this could potentially bring down a Linux computer. Which of the following directories (or mount points) SHOULD be configured on its own partition to prevent this from happening?

/var

For which of the following directories should you create separate partitions? (Select TWO).

/var /home

You have a Linux system with 8 GB of RAM installed. You plan to use this system as a server. How much space should you plan to partition for the swap file?

8 GB

LC_ALL

A special variable for overriding every other evironment setting. It sets all locales to the same setting.

LANG

Defines every locale setting at once while allowing further individual customization via the LC_* settings.

Which of the following are true about the ASCII character set? (Choose TWO.)

Does not include international symbols. Uses a seven-bit encoding technique.

You are trying to pipe data from the cat command to another program, but the data output does not make sense. You believe that the system's locale is corrupting the output. To test your hypothesis, you decide to change a locale environment variable. Which of the following changed variable would MOST likely produce correct data?

LANG=C

Which environment variable overrides all other locale settings and sets all locales to the same setting?

LC_ALL

LANGUAGE

Specifically used an override for LC_MESSAGES

LC_NAME

Specifies personal name format.

Which of the following character sets is a variable length encoding standard of Unicode that uses one to four 8-bit bytes to support many languages and most commonly used on Linux?

UTF-8

Your Linux system was installed for you while you were living in the United States of America. You have since been transferred to a satellite office located in Wood Walton, England, and have taken your computer with you. Since England uses the larger A4 paper size, you would like to change the LC_PAPER locale environment variable. Which of the following is the BEST shell command to use for this purpose?

localectl

Which of the following partitions functions as virtual memory for a Linux system?

swap
