| Yes, but relax, i'm talking about the cert21.com online "mock" exams, not the actual one. | |

| Someone didn't do their homework. pathnames in Unix as well as most commands, are all lowercase (unless someone altered it for security purposes). Keep in mind that the environment variables are usually capitalized though. 'pwd' is a command while $PWD is the variable. | |

| You are still getting credited for your answer, regardless of the case.
It's just that explanations have some answers in upper case. I'll be reviewing those explanations soon and will convert them to lower case.
THe important point is that your answer is not case-sensitive. So if you answer /bin and /home, those will count as correct answers, but explanations will have /BIN and /HOME. I'll fix those explanations soon. | |
|
| The confusing thing is that when you click on the button that goes through your wrong answers, the /bin /home /var bits come up. A newcomer to linux might think that /BIN is the right answer.
I'm not saying that the test was misleading for me, but it can be for the average """newbie"""... | |

| I agree that explanations should be changed. I'll do it very soon. |
