CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-004) — Question 186

An administrator needs to deploy 100 identical CentOS workstations via PXE boot. Which of the following should the administrator use to minimize the amount of interaction with the consoles needed?

Answer options

• A. Kickstart script
• B. Ghost image on a distribution server
• C. Hard disk duplicator
• D. Hard disk duplicator
• E. Ubiquity script

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The Kickstart script automates the installation process of CentOS, allowing for a hands-off deployment across multiple workstations. Other options like Ghost imaging and hard disk duplicators either require more manual intervention or are not specifically tailored for PXE boot setups, making them less efficient for this scenario.
