We've moved to Craft
Albeit fairly new to CraftCMS, my first experiences have been pretty awesome. The only thing better than Craft itself has been the support. Brandon, the Pixel & Tonic team, and the community, have been wonderful. Of all the the Craft features, the two that stand out the most... so far... are ease of installation and setup, and the speed. Oh, and auto updates.

Installing Node, Bower and Gulp on a cPanel box
I've been using Node, npm, bower and gulp in my local Vagrant VM under Ubuntu. However, as one of my current projects will be shuffled off to a cPanel CentOS server soon, I thought I would check how easy it is to install all this on the cPanel side.
