I own Deluxe server and want to use CentOS 6 on it. Right now they offer only CentOS 5. I am not a Linux person but willing to give it a try. My line of thoughts is to use SSH with root account, but does SSH dephend on OS or its something that can run on its own? Can someone summarize how difficult is to install CentOS on server and what order should i do it because i dont have physical access to server.

This is not a trivial task. CentOS is based on Red Hat and Red Hat does not support upgrades between major versions. Your only option is to perform a fresh install. Without physical access to the device there is only one possible method of installation: PXE boot. Unfortunately PXE boot requires access to a DHCP server and a network share which GoDaddy controls. | |||
