It is possible to run E.F.A. on a VPS that only grants you the option to do a bare installation of CentOS.

Note that this is only for experienced users and should be avoided for normal usage unless you really have to.

Warning: Building E.F.A. should only be done by users with extensive Linux knowledge.
