Linux Guru? Are you?

[Corny]

Congratulations! You scored ###!

Yes ... ### seems either hello quizzy (i still can't believe i clicked on an url like that) fucked something up here.

Any way, it says I am "junior admin"

Cute Because this test had so much in common with admin work Seriously .. you need to have a bit of experience in fiddling around with linux's most inner sanctums to score really good in this test.
Oh .. and anybody knows the answer to "33 How would I Implement any RAID in Linux?". I have built raids before, but not used any of the commands

 

[Corny]

Oh okay then
Why is there ### as my score? I just assumed that thing is broken
No answer the raid question

 

[Corny]

I guess so (since they don't show you what you got wrong). I guessed the answer.

Your result for The Actual Linux Guru Test ...
Jr Admin

Congratulations! You scored ###!

You could easily handle the common tasks of user account creation, possibly limited application development... Basically, you belong in an SQA team somewhere.

some of those debian vs red hat questions make me question the impartiality of the test maker.

i'm not a linux guru...i don't even understand the test questions

 

[Vardigon]

I scored 50%.

OK, I actually knew the answers to the first 4 questions, but questions stop making sense at a certain point.

"True or false, when an dynamically linked elf executable is run, what actually transpires is the library in question 4 is invoked with the program as it's first argument?"

How is true or false a correct answer to "What actually transpires..."?

I am not a Linux Guru by any means, I am just a Software Developer, but that question doesn't even make sense to me...

 

[torand]

That is a true or false statement, reworded it says:

When a dynamically linked elf executable is ran, the library in question 4 is involed with the program as it's first argument.

the test maker used some bad wordage and phrasing.

Yeah, I guess that makes a lot more sense like that, but I have no idea if it is True of False. I am going to stick with programming. Show me a Java quiz, and I will ace that .

 

[Corny]

If that JAVA quiz is about of the same level of detail I wouldn't be too sure of it.
JAVA has some really nasty deep hidden secrets - which you safely do not need to understand to perfectly utilize it - and the same is valid for this linux quiz

That might be true, but there is a lot of stupid garbage collection, memory management, and serialization stuff that I learned about Java trying to debug memory leaks back in the days of Java 3, and it's not-so-user-friendly threading. I think a C++ quiz would be much more challenging than anything someone would write about Java.
