To determine your target audience, define what knowledge, skills, and abilities a reader must possess for this guide to be useful. I think it would be useful for the contributors to discuss the target audience before filling in too much more detail here. Such a discussion would probably cut down on effort spent arguing over how much information to include. > + * Importance of > + * Example configurations, including info on how to change later on > + * Determine what packages you want or need to install > + * Default, or not default > + * How to update/install software later ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Point to Stuart's yum guide rather than rewriting.

(Further reading) Careful here, this is starting to look somewhat repetitive with the Installation Guide! I would recommend everyone read that cover-to-cover to familiarize themselves with the content. No reason you can't argue to move something out of the IG and into the SPG, but again, conserve energy where possible... -- Paul W.
