1.1 Summarize Linux fundamentals.
Objective 1.1 sits in System Management, which carries 32% of the Linux+ exam. The questions below are original, written from the official objective title above, and each explanation cites the CompTIA page it rests on.

A worked example
Shown solved, with the whole explanation open: this is what every question here carries.
An administrator must change a daemon's machine-local settings on one server without touching its binaries. Which directory holds that file?
Correct.
Concept
The hierarchy separates a program's executable code from the settings that make one machine differ from another, so configuration lives in its own tree.
Why D
Machine-local configuration files live under /etc, so the daemon's settings file is edited there while its binaries stay untouched elsewhere.
Now you: objective 1.1 questions
No account needed. The explanation opens when you answer.
Sample question 1 of 3
A rebuilt system fails to start because its kernel image was copied to a nonstandard path. Which locations does the hierarchy permit for the kernel?
Sample question 2 of 3
A job writes scratch files that keep vanishing after reboots, with no errors logged. The files sit in a directory whose contract allows exactly that. Which one?
Sample question 3 of 3
Disk monitoring shows one top-level directory growing daily on a mail server, driven by queues and logs. Which directory is behaving as designed?
