  1. Which runlevel in traditional SysV init corresponds to multi-user mode with networking but without a graphical interface?

    Answer: 3

    Runlevel 3 is the standard multi-user networked text mode; runlevel 5 adds the graphical display manager.

  2. What systemd target is roughly equivalent to SysV runlevel 5 (graphical multi-user)?

    Answer: graphical.target

    graphical.target starts a full graphical environment and is the systemd equivalent of runlevel 5.

  3. Which command lists all PCI devices recognized by the Linux kernel?

    Answer: lspci

    lspci enumerates all PCI and PCI-Express devices visible to the kernel.

  4. What is the role of udev in a Linux system?

    Answer: Dynamically manage device nodes in /dev based on kernel events

    udev listens for kernel uevent notifications and creates, removes, or renames device nodes in /dev accordingly.

  5. During installation, which tool is commonly used to partition disks in a text-based Linux environment?

    Answer: fdisk

    fdisk is the classic text-based disk partitioning tool widely available in Linux installation environments.

  6. Which file contains kernel boot parameters that were passed at startup?

    Answer: /proc/cmdline

    /proc/cmdline shows the exact command line that the bootloader passed to the running kernel.

  7. What does 'LVM' stand for and what problem does it solve?

    Answer: Logical Volume Manager — allows flexible resizing and management of disk partitions

    LVM (Logical Volume Manager) abstracts physical storage into logical volumes that can be resized and managed without repartitioning.
