Even better for community support would be to package the aboveprograms as rpms if they aren't already available that way and add your configuration script(s). That way any or all of the parts could be installed into existing machines.
Yes, but my intention was more like to make a appliance. Install on a clean system, have it installed on a box, and just put a away in a corner
That works until one of the programs has an update. Then if it hasn't been packaged like the rest of the system you'll have to throw your appliance away and build a new one. If it has been packaged, a simple "yum update" takes care of things whether its in the centos repository or some external one added to the yum configuration.
Then look at the Trixbox project.
It has a install CD to download. Then once installed, you do the yum -y update and hit the Centos and Trixbox repos....
