CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1001) — Question 47

A technician needs to routinely run scripting commands in Linux but does not want to walk over to the server room every time to perform the task. The technician also travels between buildings and has a Windows 10 laptop with 4GB of memory and a fully partitioned 500GB hard drive.
Which of the following steps should the technician take to resolve this issue? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Increase the memory to 8GB.
• B. Install a Linux guest VM.
• C. Add another 500GB hard drive.
• D. Create a Linux LiveBoot CD.
• E. Repartition the hard drive.
• F. Install Linux on a new ext3 partition.

Correct answer: E, F

Explanation

The correct answers, E and F, allow the technician to efficiently utilize the existing hard drive space by repartitioning and installing Linux. The other options, such as increasing memory or adding a hard drive, do not directly address the need to run Linux commands remotely or provide a practical solution for executing scripts without physical access to the server.
