Seedbox - Question about the OS

[0sec]

Hi there,
i'm planning to rent a seedbox where i can choose the OS myself.
I have experience with Fedora and know how to set it up.
But how about Windows Server 2003?
Is it more simply to configure utorrent on Windows Server 2003?
How do i load the Data from the Server on my PC? Through sFTP?
I want to install a FTP Server, is this possible on Windows Server 2003?
so much questions... i hope i get answers
thank you very much

Go with Windows.

uTorrent will run natively on it.

There are easy and free FTP servers like FileZilla Server.

And other stuff.

Yup, I use Windows 2003.. its just like your own computer (but a little different)

I personally use Serv-U, I find it very simple to setup and its on torrent sites everywhere. Then you just FTP from your home to your server, download all you want.

thanks,
and which one of the following ones is recommendable?
CentOS
Debian
Fedora
SuSe
Ubuntu

[maxrebo]

I recommend Ubuntu. The documentation and support community is infinitly better than Fedora's or CentOS's. Debian is reasonable too now that they've released a modern stable version.

If you never use linux go to ubuntu.

i have experience with fedora and know how to setup everything.
Is it recommendable to change to ubuntu?
Where are the differences?
