Ok, Here is a simpler way now to setup the server.

1) add second user - sudo user

1.1) add seconduser to 'wheel' group - admin prev.

So firstly, add the user to the wheel group:

usermod -a -G wheel demo

Next, give the 'visudo' command:

visudo

Near the bottom of the file you will see this line:

## Allows people in group wheel to run all command  # %wheel  ALL=(ALL)       ALL

Simply uncomment (remove the '#') so it looks like this:

## Allows people in group wheel to run all commands   %wheel  ALL=(ALL)       ALL

Now members of the 'wheel' group have full sudo privileges.

2) Run update on your fresh install

sudo yum updates

3) Optional. Install development tools - which are bunch of often used packages.

sudo yum groupinstall 'Development Tools'

4)Install Virtualmin (no webmin, no php, no apache)..virtualmin takes care of all that.

wget http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/scripts/install.sh


sudo chmod +x install.sh
sudo ./install.sh
THATS IT! 
 Now you can login at : https://ip.add.re.ss:10000
 
By default virtualmin install the 'most stable' version of packages.
If you want the 'latest' see the bleeding edge package updates from the page below.
