Places to Start
*a virtual machine to demonstrate one of your answers with some screen shots.
==1. Questions - You Need to Answer All Questions==
#List the major differences between Centos 6.5 and Fedora 20
#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.
==12.3 The Writeup==
*You need to "write-up" the answers and the sources for your answer.
*Target: 1/2 page per question; if you have written 2 pages, you wrote too much !
==3. Writeup Template==
Your writeup should look like:
</pre>
==4. What to Hand-in - Marking==
You will be asked for an informal progress report, your written report, and your final vm installation instructions over the next weeks. Details:
'''please observe due-dates to get full marks'''
