Before test Study Sheet

This section outlines what needs to be studied and can be used as a quick guide to the commands to preform them. I'm hoping to create a set of flash cards that will give you:

• Command line syntax
• Where the config file is located
• Where the data file is located
• Where help can be found
• Security controls
