I wish the CENTOS FAGGOTS would take the time to publish a list of WHAT. THE. FUCK. each CD does have. Not all of us have fast connections, so, if these FAGGOTS told us what each CD has, it would make life so much easier. As the time of this writing, there is no way to figure this out. How hard is it to do ls -l >> CDCONTENTS.TXT and including it in the download folder?? HUH? Not very.
@YoLninYo As a general rule of thumb for any kind of UNIX server install, always install the bare minimum. Never more. Then install only the services you need to run on your server. Given this lil' rule of thumb, you should never need more than the first disk to install CentOS. Install the rest with Yum
@YoLninYo If your bandwidth is so horrible, you cannot download the other packages you need for your server, then I guess the answer is always going to be either download the DVD iso's all at once or pay a CD vendor to burn and ship the CD's. See the CentOS website for their sponsored CD vendors.
@Plob94 I might include some Windows 2008 server howto's some time in the future. No promises. But in answer to your question, google for the term "shatter attack foon" and after reading Foon's article, ask yourself why you would want to use Windows?
@Plob94 It is the second listing in the search for "shatter attack foon" (without the quotes). There is also an informative article at Wikipedia. The "shatter attack" reveals a fundamental securiity problem with all versions of Windows (newer versions have greatly improved), but the user now does what the api should have been doing all along (verify security for message passing). Thus windows is one giant and perpetual security hole. The only way to fix it, is to rewrite the api.
@skippiebal If you are short on resources, then I would recommend a NetBSD install over CentOS. A full NetBSD install will use almost 2gig of diskspace, but the memory footprint will be like 32mb or less. I have a video series on installing NetBSD, but have not yet got around to showing how to install apache and set up a website, like I have on CentOS.
@clubpenguin5556 Just the first disk. This one: CentOS-5.x-i386-bin-1of7.iso or this one: CentOS-5.x-x86_64-bin-1of8.iso depending on the release of CentOS 5, and your platform (i386 for 32 bit, and x86_64 for 64 bit).
You can install using the LiveCD, but you have to specify installation in the boot prompt. Unlike Ubuntu and a few other Live CD distros, you cannot install from the Live session.

Okay did this instructions and then installed yum apache and php and sql
Now CentOS uses 994 MB harddisk and 252 MB memory. Thats way better than with gnome and kde :-) How can i decrease it even further safely?

Thanks, I wasn't sure which CD to download. I downloaded the live install by mistake and was dreading downloading the whole 3 gigs of ISOs. :)
