Ehh,, I "guessed" my way to "14 of 20" .  ::) ::)

However, I am fairly certain that "almost,, almost" none of this knowledge is necessary to be an effective "Linux Administrator".

 ;) ;D ;D

You have forgotten it for good reason... none of it is relevant.

None of it is usable knowledge.  ;) 

It is simply a "trivia" test for "want-a-be" geeks.  ::)

I can second this 100% - even the 14 out of 20 :D Also stumbled over the trick questions even though I suspected they were trick questions.

As a Linux admin, you might know most of it, but no more than five will be useful for your job....

I got less than i would have liked and more than i expected.

+1
I got 10 of 20, which surprised me.  I also missed a few others that I should have "guessed" better.

I somehow manage 14 / 20 based upon guessing and luck. Some questions where I thought I "knew" the answer - I was wrong.

Anyway - more of a Linux trivia test than an "admin" test.
