Complete Setup Guide for Linux Seedboxes (Fedora Core/CentOS/Debian/Ubuntu)

I would like to report that under CentOS 5.5 (64 and 32 bit), or even under Red Hat distributions, you will encounter the following error when adding the DAG repository, particularly this line:

rpm --import http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt

The error message will be:

error: http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt: import read failed(-1).

In order to add the GPG keys from DAG, run the following commands from your home directory:

wget http://dag.wieers.com/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt
rpm --import ~/RPM*

Next thing I've noticed is that with the current set of instructions, you will not be able to install Wine on CentOS 5.5. The error message when you run yum install wine will be:
