Please use his guide for CentOs if your not already stuck on Ubuntu:

I use this to deploy new miners to SSD's let me know if it helps anyone:
This is designed to be executed in blocks, each set of commands is between ######### and #######. This assumes your username or at least homedir is miner and that you have setup networking correctly. This is also using Ubuntu 12.04.2 Server as that's what I have lying around. You could save time by installing xubuntu off the bat.
#CGMiner
#Install server 12.04
#configure networking for static IP and DNS
#user miner

#To tweak hasrate: It's good to keep a spreadsheet of values and hashrates,
#GPU's are like diamonds, they each have their own unique flaws,
#Literally, silicone chips each perform different
#If you have 2,4,6,128 of the same GPU,
#It is good to run through tuning on each one independendently.
#Step 1
#Start running config, after running, grab the TC numbers from the xxxxx.bin file in the cgminer directory.
#Insert that to config file under work --thread-concurrency
#Start increasing and decreasing TC by a few thousand at a time,
#Find the highest hashrate
#Step 2
#set --gpu-memclock to the default card memory setting +25
#continue running and increasing memclock until you crash, then go by 5mhz
#continue till crash then go by 1mhz
#run with the final number for 10-30 minutes.
#don't worry if the hashrate goes down, just find the max memclock
#Step 3
#add --gpu-engine set it to half the memory speed from above
#add 5Mhz - 100Mhz to engine speed until hashrate drops
#once it drops begin subtracting 1mhz - 5Mhz until you find the max hashrate
#Step 4
#Run through worksize 64,128,256 to see which gives the best hashrate
#Step 5
#Increase -I from 13 to 20 in incriments of one to find the best hasrate
#Step 6
#Profit.
