CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-004) — Question 184

Which of the following boot methods can a Linux administrator use to boot a Linux server remotely via a network interface card instead of a local disk?

Answer options

• A. NTP
• B. PXE
• C. NFS
• D. Kickstart

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, PXE, which stands for Preboot Execution Environment and allows the server to boot from a network interface. The other options, while related to network functions, do not serve as boot methods; NTP is for time synchronization, NFS is for file sharing, and Kickstart is a method for automated installations.
