Linux Essentials Objectives V1.6: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 16:34, 25 February 2020

Introduction

The purpose of the Linux Essentials Certificate is to define the basic knowledge required to competently use a desktop or mobile device using a Linux Operating System. The associated Linux Essentials Program will guide and encourage youth (and those new to Linux and Open Source) to understand the place of Linux and Open Source in the context of the broader IT industry.

Candidate Description

This is a description of a candidate that is just barely qualified to pass the Linux Essentials exam. This hypothetical person is called the Minimally Qualified Candidate (MQC). Standards on the Linux Essentials exam should be set so that this person (and anyone more able) would pass but anyone less able would not pass.

The MQC has an understanding of the Linux and Open Source industry and knowledge of the most popular Open Source applications. The candidate should understand the major components of the Linux operating system, and have the technical proficiency to work on the Linux command line. The MQC has a basic understanding of security and administration related topics such as user/group management, working on the command line and permissions. The Linux Essentials certificate holder is most likely the end user of a mostly managed system.

The Linux Essentials MQC should have rudimentary skills or knowledge in the following topics:

Free and Open Source Software, the various communities and licenses
Processes, programs and the components of an operating system
Computer hardware
System security, users/groups and file permissions for public and private directories
Make the system accessible and able to connect to other computers on a Local Area Network (LAN)
Open Source Applications in the workplace as they relate to closed source equivalents
File system browsers on a Linux Desktop
Where to go for help
Work on the command line and with files
Make and restore simple backups and archives
Use a basic command line editor
File compression
Create and run simple shell scripts

Version Information

These objectives are version 1.6.

This is also a summary and detailed information on the changes from version 1.5 to 1.6 of the objectives.
