Development tools like gcc, on a server end platform ( specially 
something that is  in production, internet facing, with public content - 
which a lot of CentOS machines tend to be ) - is usually considered a 
bad idea.

The system installed from the ServerCD shares its package tree with the 
main CentOS distro, so you should be able to use yum against the same 
repositories.
