Adds all 6 ROOT 02 modules (Linux system administration, storage & filesystems, the Networking Mental Model, Linux network inspection, DNS & HTTP, Linux troubleshooting) — 37 activities, each with a real lesson, demonstration/guided exercise, knowledge check, hands-on Lab, and reflection. The Networking Mental Model module (M3) gets deliberately extra depth per its "critical module" designation, with no lab by design — conceptual mastery via knowledge check and guided exercise, matching root-05-m00's own precedent. Adds 6 new hands-on Linux/networking scenarios plus 2 MCQs: linux-service-inspection (inspects the platform's own real nginx without touching it — a genuinely safe, real service-inspection target that avoids ever risking the Lab's own connectivity), linux-service-lifecycle (start/ verify/stop a fully controllable service), linux-storage-inspection, linux-network-inspection (ip/ss/getent/curl, each framed as answering one specific diagnostic question), linux-dns-http-diagnosis (a genuine DNS-resolves-but-wrong-port failure, diagnosed and fixed), and linux-troubleshooting-framework (a real missing-config-file failure, resolved via the RootNode Observe/Evidence/Hypothesis/Test/Repair/Validate/Prevent framework). All tested end-to-end via the real scenario-validation API, including negative tests confirming they fail when unsolved. Wires rootnode-linux-networking-assessment (2 required + 4 random-draw scenarios) using the existing Phase 3B assessment engine. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <[email protected]>

# Reflection: You Fixed the Real Problem, Not the Suspected One
|
|
|
|
## Reflection questions
|
|
|
|
1. Before running any commands in this module's Lab, what would you have guessed was broken?
|
|
Was your guess right?
|
|
2. Why does correctly categorizing a failure (DNS vs. routing vs. TCP vs. application) matter
|
|
more than just "trying things until something works"?
|
|
|
|
## Real Ops takeaway
|
|
|
|
**"DNS must be broken" is one of the most common wrong first guesses in real incident response
|
|
— and disproving or confirming it takes seconds, not minutes.** The habit this module builds —
|
|
categorize the failure precisely before attempting a fix — is what separates a five-minute
|
|
diagnosis from an hour of trying unrelated things. This exact reasoning, applied to Kubernetes
|
|
Services/Ingress/DNS later, is one of the most valuable transferable skills in this entire
|
|
program.

This module is complete. Continue to the final module of this course.

## Instructor Notes
|
|
|
|
**Discussion questions for a live classroom:** question 1 works well as a live poll before
|
|
revealing the Lab's actual root cause — the gap between instinct and evidence is the lesson.
|
|
|
|
**Approximate timing:** 5-8 minutes live discussion; 5 minutes self-paced writing.
