=OPS335 Assignment 1 - v1.0 FINAL=
#questions and your answers,#a list of references, and#a virtual machine to demonstrate one of your answers with some screen shots. ==1. Questions - You Need to Answer All QuestionsFor Full Credit==
#List the major differences between Centos 6.5 and Fedora 20 (think about what you needed to change for the labs)
#What is a "linux appliance" ? and give provide a description of an exampleinclude a link.#What is "Vxworks" ? and give an example of where it is used. In what general category would we place "Vxworks" ?#Document and demonstrate a linux machine (virtual machine) for either question #1 or question #2 or question #3 (if you wish to demonstrate something in that category). '''For Question 4:'''*You do not have to build the demonstration machine from scratch - in fact you should can avoid building from scratch if an appliance with suitable functions is available.*You should say where the virtual machine came from - as long as you reference your sourceprovide a link. *The virtual machine can come from an external Internet site, but not a classmate. *The virtual machine should use a linux distribution other than the one we use as our host - it doesn't need complicated functionality - a linux operating system appliance itself is fine. *Note: ideally your appliance will run on your Centos host as a virtual machine. *An alternate linux environment is usually ok (e.g. VMware player under Windows) , or Parallels under OSX ) - please discussin advance with the Instructor.
==2. The Writeup==
*You are asked to "write-up" the answers and the sources for your answers.
*Please include a separate section for your answer to each question.
*Please ''reference your sources'', meaning, say where your information comes from. Consider having a References section at the end of your report.
*Your answers must be in your own words - do not literally cut and paste.
*Target: 1/2 page per question; if you have written more than 3 total pages, you wrote too much !

==6. Learning Outcomes==
#Be consistent with published Course Outline learning outcomes.
#Reinforce classroom discussion (e.g., about differences between Fedora and Centos).
#Provide an opportunity to further document, demonstrate, and refine methods from course labs (e.g., an organized approach to problem solving, and Linux server installation/setup).
