CompTIA Linux+ LX0-103/LX0-104 Initial assessment

Something that happens quite often for more, is not finishing shit off, its annoying so I m gonna use this blog as i intended it, basically as a note keeper. Truth is while beginning my bug hunting journey I quickly realized there was/is a lot of missing skill sets. They all relate to projects I started previously and never finished, namely
  • learning python
  • mastering the linux command line
both of which in my eyes are crucial to the bug bounty efforts, so ill keep all my  project notes here, these will be in (note to self format) and is not intended to mean anything to anyone other than myself all though others that may stumble across this blog at some point, it might be relevant to them.

Starting with the introduction assessment test, this test is solely aimed at testing your immediate knowledge of the linux system and potentially help discover any areas of work that need focusing on. so here goes........

 This answer for these are contained within the book, not only do they give you the correct answer but allows tells why the other answers are also wrong, this is an excellent way for my learning, as reading the the wrong answers helps provide possible answers for other questions, for example heres the first answer in full

  1. B. The Monitor section defies the monitor options and settings but not doesn't combine it with the video card, so option A is incorrect. The Modeline line defies the available video modes in the Monitor section, but it doesn't define video cards, so option C is incorrect. Option D, the device section is also incorrect; it defines the video card but doesn't match it with a monitor on the system. Option E is incorrect because the module section defines which X server modules (or drivers) are loaded but it doesn't match monitors and video cards. Option B, the screen section, tells the X server about the combination of video cards and monitors that you're using, so it's the correct answer.
Clearly there is a lot of info here and it goes beyond simply explaining the correct answer. I highlight the key parts in the book to aid me.

for the benefit of time and this blog and as this is an initial assessment ill simply post the answers here without the details just to log how many i got right/wrong. I'm quite pleased with the results of the initial assessment test, the key thing here is learning what the wrong answers do
