Hello and welcome to the relaunched Linux Quick Notes! I’m Steven, and I’m thrilled to revive this blog, originally created four years ago during my first attempt at the CompTIA Linux+ certification. Back then, it was called Poker Notes—a placeholder title from a different project. Now, it’s rebranded as Linux Quick Notes to document my journey toward the Linux+ XK0-005 exam while keeping my skills sharp in retirement.
This blog will be a mix of:
Study Notes: Breaking down Linux+ topics like file systems, scripting, and security for beginners and fellow learners.
Command Cheat Sheets: Quick-reference tables for commands like ls, chmod, or systemctl.
Practice Labs: Hands-on guides, like setting up a Rocky VM for testing systemd.
Exam Tips: Strategies to tackle XK0-005’s performance-based questions.
Join me as I share what I learn, from revisiting basics (like my old notes on /etc) to mastering new topics like containers and automation. Whether you’re studying for Linux+ or exploring Linux, I hope these posts help you as much as they’ll help me! First up: a post on file permissions, coming soon.
