First a few notes on CentOS 6 minimal, which is a bare bones install with very little on board. You can download a copy from one of the CentOS mirrors [http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=30 here]

* As per above note, only use Virtual Machine for testing purposes. A good free VM package van be obtained [https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads here]
 +
* You might want to note down as much as possible so you yourself and others can reproduce the actions
 +
* Don't use yum with the '-y' flag (install/upgrade without further user interaction) when using the yum install/upgrade commands. (beware copy/paste yum commands)
 +
* you might want to note down all packages listed by yum to be installed/upgraded AND their dependencies
 +
* When you are using 64-bit, please add '--exlcude=*86' at the end of the yum command line. This will prevent i386/i686 to be installed as 'required' dependencies
 +
* Make regular snapshots of your Virtual Machine and describe them specifically. At least when you've reached an important milestone for yourself
