    What does "HAL" stands for ?

    • Hardware Architecture Layout

    • Hardware Architecture Layer

    • Hardware Abstraction Layout

    • Hardware Abstraction Layer

    Correct Answer
    A. Hardware Abstraction Layer
    Explanation
    "HAL" stands for Hardware Abstraction Layer. This term refers to a software layer that provides a consistent interface between the hardware and the higher-level software. The HAL abstracts the hardware details and provides a standardized set of functions and services that can be used by the software to interact with the hardware. This helps in simplifying the development process and allows software to be more portable across different hardware platforms.

    During installation, the first user account is assigned the root role.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    During installation, the first user account is assigned the root role. This means that the first user account created during the installation process will have administrative privileges and full control over the system. The root role allows the user to perform tasks that are restricted to other user accounts, such as installing software, modifying system files, and managing user accounts. Having the root role assigned to the first user account ensures that the user has maximum control and authority over the system.
