Just another Pcap, is there anything malicious with this or is it normal traffic?

Based on your other question I get a definite feeling this is a homework assignment.

Having said that, as an educational opportunity, if you right-click on the TCP stream and select "follow TCP stream" you can see that most of this trace is an ASCII terminal application where a user is issuing Linux commands. They are as follows, and can be ignored (unless a person logging into that server and issuing these commands is nefarious):

ls -la cd .. ls cd selinux ls ls -la

For the rest of it, you have a unicast DHCP request (looks non-evil), and ARP traffic (where the replies don't contradict each other at least). So, nothing "scanny" happening there, and nothing that particularly strikes me as malicious on the face of it.
