NOTE: These are instructions for CentOS, a Red Hat clone. Replace the "yum" command with "up2date" if you are actually using Red Hat.
If you are installing to a piece of hardware, skip the first step.
  • Create VM - Create VM with 256MB RAM, 4GB HD, and using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4
  • Install CentOS (minimal install)
  • yum upgrade - upgrades CentOS to the latest version
  • shutdown -r now - reboots the machine
  • chkconfig --levels 2345 yum on - turn on automatic updates service
  • yum install gcc gcc-c++ zlib-devel - installs required packages
  • Install VMWare Tools - installs VMWare tools for better performance
