Added Libcurl note as this might come up with some people. I found this to be the easiest and cleanest way to get it installed

Awesome thread.

This is giving a hand up to all the wannabe Litecoin miners

Going to start mining LTC myself and get my cpu dirty.

Could always be a good thing when people dont reply. Not much more to fix.

However made a couple changes

I would love to setup a private Litecoin Pool for my company, but getting ArtForz pushpool working correctly has been challenging to say the least.

Getting closer every day I suppose

Thanks.. fixed a few of those

No worries.. I added it.. I might get more detailed with pools later

Sure.. ill add it but I cant find what the payment system is.. do you know?

On the Linux instructions, there is no need for additional CFLAGS, -O3 suffices for this.
On the Centos installation instructions, you are missing a number after -j which specifiec concurrent compilation of files.

+1

very good write up, hopefully the ltc/usd keeps rising

First Find yourself a Litecoin Pool.
