What this unit covers

The page has two broad strands of material. One is Linux: the kernel, the command line, file permissions, package management and the boot process. The other is Windows Server: installation, Server Core, storage, Active Directory and PowerShell. Many resources are written with a certification in mind, and the exams they mention include LPIC-1, LPIC-2, Linux Essentials, RHCSA, MCSA 70-410, 70-411, 70-412 and 70-740.

Where to start with Linux

If you are new to the subject, begin with the quiz Linux Essentials Chapter 3 Exam, which asks about graphical and non-graphical interfaces. Then move to Linux Essentials Chapter 4 Exam for the command line and environment variables, and Linux Essentials Chapter 6 Exam for hidden files and the directory tree. The quiz Examen final Linux Essentials pulls the ideas together.

For LPI candidates, LPI 101-500 tests kernel parameters and systemd. Next, the quiz on managing software covers Debian and RPM packages. The mind maps numbered 101.3, 102.1, 102.3 and 102.5 sit well beside those quizzes.

Where to start with Windows Server

Start with the slide set Install Windows Server 2012 R2, which introduces Server Core, Server Manager, Storage Spaces, ReFS and Hyper-V. Then try the 70-410 quizzes, which use scenario questions such as building a storage space from three new disks. The Test Active Directory quiz covers domain controllers, member servers and the Schema Master role. Notes on Active Directory and group types fill in the detail.

Using quizzes, maps and flashcards together

  1. Take a quiz cold and note what you missed.
  2. Open a mind map on that topic to see how the pieces connect.
  3. Use a flashcard deck, such as the command line decks, to drill terms and commands.
  4. Retake the quiz a few days later.
