The [http://wiki.contribs.org/index.php?title=SME_on_CentOS_6&oldid=18561 previous] instructions on how to install SME packages on CentOS 6 minimal are now out of date, but are still available in the history [http://wiki.contribs.org/index.php?title=SME_on_CentOS_6&action=history archive]. Please see [[SME9Alpha | SME9Alpha]] for the latest development steps.
The [http://wiki.contribs.org/index.php?title=SME_on_CentOS_6&oldid=18561 previous] version can be usefull as a starting point for:
* Creating an OpenVZ template for SME
* Building SME on other future CentOS versions
* Building SME on CentOS like distros
