I was first contacted by a recruiter and was asked several simple questions before being put through to the next round of technical interviews.

Be well prepared, since the technical screening has lots of questions to be answered. All of this was done via phone interview.

Here are some of the questions I could remember, ranging from Linux, DNS, TCP/IP, Networking, and other computer-related subjects:
