Yup, /usr/src/linux is the go-to for kernel sources.

I thought it could be different based on distros?

I believe the answer is /usr/src/linux, but I’m not confident about the specifics of symbolic links in this context.

I’m a bit confused; I thought the kernel source could be in a different location. Wasn’t there a question about this in our last mock exam?

I remember practicing a question about the FHS, and I think it was definitely /usr/src/linux. It might be a symbolic link too.

I think the path is something like /usr/src/linux, but I’m not entirely sure if it includes the trailing slash or not.

Ah, the FHS - I remember that from my Linux administration days. The path to the kernel source is /usr/src/linux, which could be a symbolic link. I'll double-check, but I'm feeling good about this one.

Ugh, I'm not too familiar with the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard. I'll need to quickly look up the details on where the Linux kernel source is typically stored. Hopefully, I can figure this out in time.

This is a good one. I remember learning about the FHS in my Linux class. I'm pretty confident the answer is /usr/src/linux, which may be a symbolic link to the actual source code location.

Okay, the question is asking about the path to the Linux kernel source. I'm a bit unsure if it's asking for the exact path or just the general location. I'll need to review the FHS to make sure I get this right.

Hmm, this seems like a pretty straightforward question about the Linux file system. I think I know the answer, but I'll double-check the FHS to be sure.

Symbolic link, you say? Oh, I bet the Linux devs are just having a laugh at our expense, hiding the real source code behind a clever trick.
