+CentOS
+******
+
+.. note::
+   This documentation was created thanks to Guillaume Sueur from Neogeo Technologies which took time to test 
+   installing the ZOO-Kernel on a CentOS 5.5 environment.
+
+Requirements
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Install some standard tools to be able to run ZOO-Kernel on your platform :
+
+::
+
+  yum install apache2
+  yum install build-essentials
+  yum install gcc-c++
+  yum install zlib-devel
+  yum install libxml2-devel
+  yum install bison
+  yum install openssl 
+  yum install python-devel
+  yum install subversion
+
+Compile then install FastCGI library from source
+
+::
+
+  wget http://www.fastcgi.com/dist/fcgi.tar.gz
+  tar xzf fcgi-2.4.0.tar.gz 
+  ./configure
+  make
+  make install
+  echo /usr/local/lib >> /etc/ld.so.conf.d/local.conf
+  ldconfig
+
+Compile then install the autoconf tools :
+
+::
+
+  wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-latest.tar.gz
+  tar xzf autoconf-latest.tar.gz
+  ./configure --prefix=/usr
+  make 
+  make install
+
+Compile then install the flex tool :
+
+::
+
+  wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/flex/flex/flex-2.5.35/flex-2.5.35.tar.gz?r=http%3A%2F%2Fflex.sourceforge.net%2F&ts=1292529005&use_mirror=switch
+  tar xzf flex-2.5.35.tar.gz
+  cd flex-2.5.35
+  ./configure --prefix=/usr
+  make
+  make install
+
+Using the curl provided in the CentOS distribution will produce a ZOO-Kernel unable to run any 
+Service. Indeed, some segmentation faults occur when trying to run ``Execute`` requests on the ZOO-Kernel, 
+compiling the ZOO-Kernel setting ``USE_GDB`` flag in the ``CFLAGS`` of your ``Makefile`` will let you run 
+ZOO-Kernel from gdb and be able to get more information on what is going wrong with your ZOO-Kernel. 
+Doing this we can figure out that code on `line 173 <http://zoo-project.org/trac/browser/trunk/zoo-kernel/ulinet.c#L173>`__ 
+and `line 175 <http://zoo-project.org/trac/browser/trunk/zoo-kernel/ulinet.c#L175>`__ have to be commented in the 
+``ulinet.c`` file to get a ZOO-Kernel working using the curl available in CentOS (curl version 7.15.5). 
+If you don't apply the modification, you will get an error from a gdb session pointing 
+segfault in ``Curl_cookie_clearall``.
+
+You can optionally compile then install curl from source :
+
+::
+
+  wget http://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.21.3.tar.bz2
+  tar xjf curl-7.21.3.tar.bz2
+  cd curl-7.21.3
+  ./configure --prefix=/usr
+  make
+  make install
+
+Compile then install Python :
+
+  wget http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.6.6/Python-2.6.6.tar.bz2
+  tar xjf Python-2.6.6.tar.bz2
+  cd Python-2.6.6
+  ./configure
+  make
+  make install
+
+Compile then install your own GDAL library :
+
+  wget http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/gdal-1.7.3.tar.gz
+  tar xzf gdal-1.7.3.tar.gz
+  cd gdal-1.7.3
+  ./configure  # add your options here
+  make
+  make install
+
+Install the Sun JAVA SDK into ``/usr/share`` then use the following command to ensure that the ``libjvm.so`` 
+will be found at runtime from any context.
+
+::
+
+  echo /usr/share/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0/jre/lib/i386/client/ >> /etc/ld.so.conf.d/jvm.conf
+  ldconfig
+
+Compile ZOO-Kernel and ZOO-Services
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Compile then install ZOO-Kernel and your first ZOO-Services.
+
+First of all, compile the cgic library providen in the SVN source tree:
+
+::
+
+  svn co http://svn.zoo-project.org/svn/trunk zoo-project
+  cd zoo-project/thirds/cgic206
+  make
+
+Compile then install ZOO-Kernel.
+
+::
+
+  cd ../../zoo-kernel
+  ./configure --with-java=/usr/share/jdk1.6.0_23/ --with-python
+  make zoo_loader.cgi
+  cp main.cfg /var/www/cgi-bin/
+  cp  zoo_loader.cgi /var/www/cgi-bin/
+
+Compile then deploy your first ZOO-ServicesProviders (simple HelloPy, line 1 and 2, and the OGR base-vect-ops 
+ServiceProvider, line 3 to 6):
+
+::
+
+  cp ../zoo-services/hello-py/cgi-env/*.zcfg /var/www/cgi-bin/
+  cp ../zoo-services/hello-py/test_service.py /var/www/cgi-bin/
+  cd ../ogr/base-vect-ops/
+  make
+  cp ./cgi-env/* /var/www/cgi-bin/
+  vi /var/www/cgi-bin/main.cfg --> set your own informations here
+
+To ensure that the ``libjvm.so`` will be found from apache, please restart it :
+
+::
+
+  /etc/init.d/httpd restart
+
+Testing your ZOO-Kernel
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Test your ZOO-Kernel from command line:
+
+::
+
+  cd /var/www/cgi-bin
+  ./zoo_loader.cgi "request=Execute&service=WPS&version=1.0.0&Identifier=HelloPy&DataInputs=a=Djay"
+  ./zoo_loader.cgi "request=Execute&service=WPS&version=1.0.0&Identifier=Buffer&DataInputs=BufferDistance=1@datat
+
