Scenario

It is your first day as a Linux administrator at Eucalyptus and Lavender Inc. The IT manager has given you two Linux servers; the development server runs CentOS and the production one runs RHEL. She would like for you to check if any package updates are available for those servers. If there are updates available, install all updates on the CentOS server, but only install the security updates on the RHEL server. Then, install and start the NFS package on the CentOS server and install and start the FTP package on the RHEL server. Good luck!
