From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Taken from the CompTIA IT Fundamentals Exam Guide book (2nd edition, published 2021). I'm not sure if they fixed this in newer versions, if at all.

Oh yes, I remember the paper test in California and it was really stupid. Things like "what should you do in foggy weather?" And the correct answer was "stay at home and don't drive".

Their whole booklet was a joke, instead of clear rules it was a mix up of actual rules, advice and trivia with no meaningful organization.

In the UK all our questions were things like 'You are about to drive into a wall, do you (a) honk your horn, (b) speed up, (c) stop'.

The rule was if there was a 'stop' answer, use that one, otherwise use the 'slow down' answer. You'd pass easily.

I always wondered if one day they'd throw in a curve ball.. 'you are being chased by a hoard of zombies..'

What a bullshit question. If they don't want people to drive in fog they should make it illegal. Otherwise, they should just acknowledge that people are going to do it and not coerce them to lie on a test
