1.1 =OPS335 Assignment 1 - Draft v1 - For Comment==
Assignment 1 consists of
*questions and your answers, *a list of references, and *a virtual machine to demonstrate one of your answers with some screen shots.
[edit] 1.2 ==Questions - You Need to Answer All Questions
#List the major differences between Centos 6.5 and Fedora 20 #What is a "linux appliance" and give an example. #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). You do not have to build the demonstration machine from scratch - in fact you should avoid building from scratch - as long as you reference your source. 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 appliance itself is fine. Note: ideally your appliance will run on your Centos host as a virtual machine. An alternate environment is ok (e.g. VMware player under Windows) or Parallels under OSX - please discuss.
[edit] ==1.3 The Writeup==
You need to "write-up" the answers and the sources for your answer.
