February 2008: These tests are all badly in need of update. Some questions are incorrect because of changing technology and others just make no sense in today's IT world. I do intend to update these, but it's a big project..
These questions are intended to test your knowledge, but they are also intended to help you learn more about Linux by examples and just by making you aware of things you might not have known about. There are 825 questions here. Each question is rated as E Easy M Moderate or T Tough.
You can obtain the complete tests : see Get Skills Tests
The qualification of Easy, Moderate or Tough, is completely arbitrary and highly subject to my own prejudices. Roughly, the Easy questions are those I would expect even a beginner to know, while the Moderate are what I expect an average administrator should know. Tough are things many administrators can handle, but I don't really expect them to.
If you are using these questions to help study for certification exams, they may be useful, but you will need other resources and there is no substitute for actual experience.
There's no scoring; you can tell yourself if you are doing well or not.
I want to particularly thank Wade Altman who has pointed out numerous errors and has significantly contributed toward improving the quality of these tests.
Check back often; we change the tests at least once a month.
