You're kidding, right?

You want to swindle yourself into a Linux position and expect
people here to not only help with that, but do the whole job
interview FOR you?



Cheers,
Tink

P.S.: This is worse than homework questions, this is plain
deceit of a potential employer. Reported for closure.

Pal, do yourself a favor - search for answers yourself on the internet and read the fine system manuals. There is no fun in helping someone who didn't try to solve problem himself.

If you (as Tinkster written) are trying to acquire Linux-related job and you wasn't able to find answers yourself, then even if someone posted correct answers, it wouldn't help you - you'll be very quickly fired from that job due to complete incompetence even if you manage to acquire that job at all.

The answers to the questions are very simple: read, research, learn, apply. No one here will do the interview for you - in fact, it may be that another member is going for the same job. In which case, this would give you an even more unfair advantage.

If you don't know the answers and can't figure out how to get them honestly, drop out of the interview. In the unlikely event you do get the job, you won't last 5 minutes.

So, in short, as well as homework questions we won't do interviews for you either. You are a new member and appear to have signed up purely to do this. Not a good start to your Linux career.

Do not do this again.

Also to add, if you really don't know half of these off the top of your head as they are very simple to those that have used Linux, you probably shouldn't be applying for this job in the first place.

Sorry, had to put my two cents in.
