Today i thought it would be cool to show you a step by step on how to install them under Centos (the OS we use and recommend for servers).

I tested it on the environment i needed so i'm posting it here for everyone to test it out. Hopefully if i get the chance to properly test it out it will be part of the inca framework.

UPDATE I found via a comment on this post that theres a solution for this same thing done with a very similar logic and older than mine. You can find it here . I didn't base my logic on that post but what a coincidence. I guess great minds think alike, huh?

I own a couple of ipods, some laptops, spend sometimes too much on your app store on both of my iphones (1st gen and 2nd gen), scroll fast to the next story when i read someone blaiming your app store app approval process and recommend your products to the people i care most (family, friends and clients).

I'm writing you this post, cause i'm really sorry that one of your new partners are making me desire to go back in time and buy that nice black blackberry they offered me instead of your newly 3g white 16GB iphone.
