So for, CentOS, the eaisest thing would be us qemu/debootstrap to install the "wheezy"/"jessie" sysroot into a chroot... Windows would be a pain..

Jessie has a lot newer components then Wheezy.. As for the kernel, all options are in the repo.. So wither you want to run, "3.8.13" with Jessie or, "4.4.x" with Wheezy, that's up to you.. Some people like sysv of wheezy, while others like systemd of jessie..
