How to do CentOS fresh install (server)
Being a newbie to Linux, it was quite a job for me to install the CentOS 4.4 on a rack server. Just finished it & now taking a rest after a long Sunday. Lucky that I have the internet that makes my life easier.
Some simplified steps to get the CentOS up & running. I took 2 days to have all these done .. shame on me 
1. Download CentOS ServerCD files and burn it to a blank CD. Nero or RecordNow! support burning the image file.
2. Power your server and put the CD into the CD drive and let it started using the CD. You want to be sure on the boot sequence.
3. Make a lite install. Drop less important packages. I have mine took up only about 800Mb of the disc space. It’s not about the space anyway, I just want to be sure the optimal use of RAM.
Check on minimal CentOS install here.
4. Install the Apache, MySQL, SMTP & FTP services. For the best article on this, follow this link.
5. To manage multiple hosting accounts, get a free copy of ISPConfig. Else should there be an extra money, go for CPanel alternatively.
ps; I did search on the net on how to do these things but a little that I found websites with detail explanation about this. Hope that anyone else looking fr this kind of info will get some hints on what to do with installing the CentOS.
pps; Beware with typos, I got myself a headache during the SMTP (postfix) configuration just because of incorrectly entered 127.0.0.1/8, instead of 127.0.0.0/8. Special attention to ISPConfig as well, it may not be that easy.
