Command Line Options

Question for anyone who has taken the Linux+ Exam...

Had this thought has I was focusing on text manipulation and package management.

I understand the exam will be command line driven for questions. I have a very good understanding of the commands and they're options but not ALL the options.

Do a lot of the questions have wierd/odd options that are not typically used? Like the difference between "dpkg -i" and "dpkg -G".

And "sed". I fear sed. Sed should be illegal. I hate sed.

Thanks!

Struggling with sed a bit myself. Wondering what you mean by cmd line driven. I though the test was multiple choice. Is it fill in the blank and you better enter cmds exactly?

Is it sed you fear, or regex? If the latter, find a good article/book on it - there are hundreds out there, some better than others (and some admittedly terrible).
