CompTIA Linux+ XK0-005 Cert Guide from Pearson IT Certification helps you prepare to succeed on the CompTIA Linux+ exam by directly addressing the exam’s objectives as stated by CompTIA. Leading instructor and expert Ross Brunson shares preparation hints and test-taking tips, helping you identify areas of weakness and improve both your conceptual knowledge and hands-on skills.

Linux is a great operating system, useful for a large variety of tasks, but also with a lot of tweakable and configurable options, some of which are not that well documented, or easy to understand. It's like buying a car off the car dealer's lot, if you just start it up and drive it, it's pretty simple, just avoid crashing and keep the fluids full and you'll be ok for a while. The REAL fun begins when something doesn't work right, you have to pop the hood (or bonnet for our European friends) and start figuring out what went awry or what needs changed. Linux can be very easy to use, but also allows you to dive s deep under the hood into the inner workings as you could possibly want to. The Chapter 1 is all about the essentials of Linux System Management, including information about what the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard is, what files and directories go where and contain what, particulars about the /dev directory and it's contents, the basics of storage management including types of storage, partition types, RAID and FUSE, the boot process of a Linux system and constructing software packages from source. We'll also look at what happens when the Linux kernel panics or crashes occur and how to investigate what hardware your system contains.
