Package management in the exam - can I limit my focus

jnthn

Hello.

I will be using Centos for the exam distribution. Will I be questioned on the package management tools from the other systems or may I focus on the high- and low level tools for Centos Stream?

Thanks Magda. I've raised a ticket with exam support.

Thank you for letting me know about the broken link. I've fixed it, and it should now work as expected. Good luck with your exam preparations!

For completeness sake, here's the answer I recieved from traning support

"The LFCS Exam was refreshed and new content released on May 11, 2023.

As part of The Linux Foundation's commitment to making exams distribution-agnostic, the LFCS exam content is now independent of distribution-specific tasks."

I've revisited the other package management tools and will be studying the entirity of the 207 curriculum

Ironically, since posting this I've had to use alternative package managers on RasPiOS, Kali and AzureLinux, both in low-level and high-level contexts.

Hi @jnthn,

Well, at least for the Raspberry Pi it uses APT, so in that case is useful.
