Linux Essentials (010-160) — Question 72

What is the preferred source for the installation of new applications in a Linux based operating system?

Answer options

• A. The vendor's version management system
• B. A CD-ROM disk
• C. The distribution's package repository
• D. The vendor's website
• E. A retail store

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as the distribution's package repository is specifically designed to provide a secure and compatible source for software installations in Linux.
