Linux Essentials (010-160) — Question 42
Members of a team already have experience using Red Hat Enterprise Linux. For a small hobby project, the team wants to set up a Linux server without paying for a subscription. Which of the following Linux distributions allows the team members to apply as much of their Red Hat Enterprise Linux knowledge as possible?
Answer options
- A. Ubuntu Linux LTS
- B. Raspbian
- C. Debian GNU/Linux
- D. CentOS
- E. openSUSE
Correct answer: D
Explanation
CentOS is a community-supported distribution that is built from the same source code as Red Hat Enterprise Linux, making it the best choice for leveraging existing knowledge. The other options, while popular, do not share the same architecture or package management system as Red Hat Enterprise Linux, which may require a steeper learning curve for the team.
