Question 1 of 80

What are the differences between hard disk drives and solid state disks? (Choose two.)

Hard disks have a motor and moving parts, solid state disks do not.

Hard disks can fail due to physical damage, while solid state disks cannot fail.

Solid state disks can store many times as much data as hard disk drives.

/dev/sda is a hard disk device while /dev/ssda is a solid state disk.

Solid state disks provide faster access to stored data than hard disks.

Correct Answer: A, E

Hard disk drives (HDDs) have a motor and moving parts, which makes them more susceptible to physical damage and mechanical failure. In contrast, solid state disks (SSDs) do not have moving parts due to their use of flash memory, making them more durable and reliable. Additionally, SSDs provide faster access to stored data compared to HDDs because they do not rely on moving parts to read/write data, resulting in significantly improved performance.

Question 2 of 80

Reverse DNS assigns hostnames to IP addresses. How is the name of the IP address 198.51.100.165 stored on a DNS server?

In the A record for 165.100.51.198.ipv4.arpa.

In the PTR record for 165.100.51.198.in-addr.arpa.

In the RNAME record for 198-51-100-165.rev.arpa.

In the ARPA record for 165.100.51.198.rev.

In the REV record for arpa.in-addr.198.51.100.165.

Correct Answer: B

In reverse DNS, the PTR (Pointer) record is used to map an IP address to a hostname. To store the hostname for the IP address 198.51.100.165, the IP address is reversed, and the domain in-addr.arpa is appended. Therefore, the correct answer is that the name of the IP address 198.51.100.165 is stored in the PTR record for 165.100.51.198.in-addr.arpa.

Question 3 of 80

Which of the following types of bus can connect hard disk drives with the motherboard?

The RAM bus

The NUMA bus

The CPU bus

The SATA bus

The Auto bus

Correct Answer: D

The Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) bus is specifically designed to connect hard disk drives as well as other storage devices like optical drives to the motherboard. SATA uses high-speed serial cables to facilitate communication between the storage devices and the motherboard, making it the appropriate choice for connecting hard disk drives.

Question 4 of 80

Members of a team already have experience using Red Hat Enterprise Linux. For a small hobby project, the team wants to set up a Linux server without paying for a subscription. Which of the following Linux distributions allows the team members to apply as much of their Red Hat Enterprise Linux knowledge as possible?

Ubuntu Linux LTS

Raspbian

Debian GNU/Linux

CentOS

openSUSE

Correct Answer: D

CentOS is the correct choice because it is derived from the freely available source code of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and maintains binary compatibility with its upstream source, making it the best option for leveraging the team's existing RHEL knowledge.

Question 5 of 80

What information can be displayed by top?

Existing files, ordered by their size.

Running processes, ordered by CPU or RAM consumption.

User accounts, ordered by the number of logins.

User groups, ordered by the number of members.

User accounts, ordered by the number of files.

Correct Answer: B

The 'top' command in Unix-like operating systems displays running processes and information related to their CPU and memory usage. It provides a dynamic real-time view of a system, where processes are typically ordered by CPU or RAM consumption, helping users monitor system performance and resource usage.
