Introduction
“...In a future that includes competition from open source, we can expect that the eventual destiny
of any software technology will be to either die or become part of the open infrastructure itself.”
Eric S. Raymond,The Cathedral and the Bazaar

A s Eric S. Raymond reminds us, Open Source Software will continue to shape the
dynamics of the computer software industry for the next long while, just as it has
done for the last decade. Created and perpetuated by hackers, Open Source Software
refers to software in which the source code is freely available to anyone who wishes to
improve it (usually through collaboration). And, of course, at the heart of Open Source
Software lies Linux — an operating system whose rapid growth has shocked the world
by demonstrating the nature and power of the Open Source model.
However, as Linux continues to grow, so must the number of Linux-educated users,
administrators, developers, and advocates.Thus, we find ourselves in a time when Linux
education is of great importance to the Information Technology industry. Key to demon-
strating ability with Linux is the certification process. The Linux+ Guide to Linux®
Certification, Second Edition uses carefully constructed examples, questions, and practical
exercises to prepare readers with the necessary information to obtain the sought-after
Linux+ certification from the Computing Technology Industry Association, or CompTIA.
The Linux+ certification may also be used to fulfill the UNIX module of the cSAGE
certification, which is geared toward junior-level system engineers. Once candidates pass
the Linux+ exam, they are required only to pass the cSAGE core exam to earn the cSAGE
Certification designation. Whatever your ultimate goal, you can be assured that reading
this book in combination with study, creativity, and practice, will make the Open Source
world come alive for you as it has for many others.

The Intended Audience


Simply put, this book is intended for those who wish to learn the Linux operating sys-
tem and pass the Linux+ certification exam from CompTIA. It does not assume any
prior knowledge of Linux or of computer hardware. Also, the topics introduced in this
book, and covered in the certification exam, are geared towards systems administration,
yet are also well suited for those who will use or develop programs for Linux systems.
Chapter 1,“Introduction to Linux” introduces operating systems as well as the features,
benefits, and uses of the Linux operating system. As well, this chapter discusses the his-
tory and development of Linux and Open Source Software.
xii Linux+ Guide to Linux® Certification Second Edition

Chapter 2, “Preparing for Linux Installation” introduces the various hardware compo-
nents inside a computer, as well as methods that can be used to collect hardware and soft-
ware information prior to installing the Linux operating system.
Chapter 3,“Linux Installation and Usage” walks through a typical Linux installation given
the hardware and software information collected in the previous chapter. As well, this
chapter describes how to interact with a Linux system via a terminal and enter basic com-
mands into a Linux shell such as those used to obtain help and properly shutdown the system.
Chapter 4,“Exploring Linux Filesystems” outlines the Linux filesystem structure, and the
types of files that can be found within it.As well, this chapter discusses commands that can
be used to view and edit the content of those files.
Chapter 5, “Linux Filesystem Management” covers those commands that can be used
to locate and manage files and directories on a Linux filesystem. Furthermore, this chap-
ter outlines the different methods used to link files as well as how to interpret and set file
and directory permissions.
Chapter 6, “Linux Filesystem Administration” discusses how to create, mount, and man-
age filesystems in Linux. This chapter also discusses the various filesystems available for
Linux systems and the device files that are used to refer to the devices which may contain
these filesystems.
Chapter 7,“Advanced Installation” introduces advanced hardware concepts and configu-
rations that may prove useful when installing Linux. As well, this chapter discusses differ-
ent methods that may be used to install Linux as well as common problems that may occur
during installation, and their resolutions.
Chapter 8,“Working with the BASH Shell” covers the major features of the BASH shell
including redirection, piping, variables, aliases, and environment files. Also, this chapter
details the syntax of basic shell scripts.
Chapter 9, “System Initialization and X Windows” covers the different bootloaders that
may be used to start the Linux kernel and dual-boot the Linux operating system with
other operating systems such as Windows. This chapter also discusses how daemons are
started during system initialization as well as how to start and stop them afterwards. Finally,
this chapter discusses the structure of Linux Graphical User Interfaces as well as their con-
figuration and management.
Chapter 10,“Managing Linux Processes” covers the different types of processes, as well as
how to view their attributes, change their priority, and kill them. Furthermore, this chap-
ter discusses how to schedule processes to occur in the future using various utilities.
Chapter 11, “Common Administrative Tasks” details three important areas of system
administration: printer administration, log file administration, and user administration.
Introduction xiii

Chapter 12, “Compression, System Backup, and Software Installation” describes utilities
that are commonly used to compress or back up files on a Linux filesystem. As well, this
chapter discusses how to install software from source code as well as using the Red Hat
Package Manager (RPM).
Chapter 13, “Troubleshooting and Performance” discusses the system maintenance cycle
as well as good troubleshooting procedures for solving hardware and software problems.
Also, this chapter outlines utilities that can be used to monitor and pinpoint the cause of
performance problems, as well as how to patch and recompile the kernel to fix software,
hardware, and performance problems.
Chapter 14, “Network Configuration” introduces networks, network utilities, and the
TCP/IP protocol, as well as how to configure the TCP/IP protocol on a NIC or PPP
interface. In addition, this chapter details the configuration of name resolution.
Chapter 15, “Configuring Network Services and Security” introduces commonly con-
figured Linux network services and their configuration, as well as firewall and routing ser-
vices. In addition, this chapter details the concepts and tools that may be used to secure a
Linux computer locally and from across a network.
Additional information is also contained in the appendices at the rear of the book.
Appendix A discusses the certification process with emphasis on the Linux+ certification
and how the objective list for the Linux+ certification matches each chapter in the text-
book. Appendix B is a copy of the GNU Public License. Appendix C explains how to
find Linux resources on the Internet and lists some common resources by category.
