* We suggest you use a virtual machine, like Virtualbox - [https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads]. The advantage is that you can save snapshots at important stages of testing and revert to them quickly. Some tips for virtualbox: The default settings for a Redhat virtual machine are fine, but you will want to change the Network settings to add a second network interface and be bridged adapters if you want to test Server-Gateway mode. The 1st adapter is local, the 2nd adapter is external.

* Download the SME9 Alpha ISO from [http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/releases/testing/9/iso/]. Use the x86_64 version if your hardware supports it.

If possible use something like zsync which will transfer just the chages to the ISO and not the whole file itself :
You can get it for Debian/Ubuntu with sudo apt-get install zsync
On CentOS/ RH you can get an RPM here http://pkgs.repoforge.org/zsync/
You can then do the following :
zsync http://mirror.contribs.org/releases/testing/9/iso/x86_64/smeserver-9.0alpha1-x86_64.iso.zsync
zsync http://mirror.contribs.org/releases/testing/9/iso/i386/smeserver-9.0alpha1-i386.iso.zsync
If the ISO changes, just run these commands again and it will propogate the changes, not the whole file.
* Start the machine and choose the ISO image to boot from and install SME Server following the instructions.
