Here's a howto:
1. Download install media from
http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=15
2. Install on hardware suitable for use as a server.
3. Choose the server software packages you want either during
installation, or afterwards using Add/Remove Software or yum.
4. Configure the services (see documentation at:
http://www.centos.org/docs/5/ )
I think Markku covered it pretty well. The only thing I might add is
that *I* like to just download the first CD, then, during installation
(which is quite similar to Fedora's) and uncheck everything, including
base system. This will give you a minimal installation, suitable for
customizing. Many folks don't want X on a server.
There is a forum (though not that active) and also a wiki, covering
several server aspects.
Also Rob, not sure what mailer you're using (maybe a cell phone?), but
it gets difficult to tell which text was yours and what was the text to
which you were responding, at least when using mutt.

Buffy: So. You saw their faces, but you can't describe
them.
Spike: Well, they were human. Two eyes each, kind of in the middle.
