for windows os read this guide http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/f-seedbox-discussion-154/t-seedbox-non-owner-and-owner-faq-280125/?
its very easy but u gotta pay for windows license after 2 months.

for linux read this guide http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/f-seedbox-discussion-154/t-naqs-complete-setup-guide-linux-seedboxes-fedora-corecentosdebianubuntu-281331/?
its a bit more difficult if u dont use it before.

read both guides theres lots of very good info in them:)

Since so many people abused of the first two month offer, it does not exists anymore. Consequently, when you rent a server with Windows 2003 Basic on it, you have to pay the monthly EUR 10 fee.

If you are somewhat handy with computers and windows a simple ubuntu OS shouldn't be much of a problem.
Sure it can be a little scary at first but the guides are so easy to follow.

If you wanna make it a little easier on yourself you could install VMware on your windows pc and install some linux dist
and get to know it for a hour or two before you decide! :)

OVH have free OS-reinstalls..

Just go with debian and follow the guide here at filsesharingtalk. If its not working just make a reinstall and start again .

I'd start with Windows. You'll most likely get it up and running within 5 minutes. Then, you can read guides on this forums and others concerning Linux distros and you feel up to it, you can get a Linux OS installed on your box and start using it.

Ok, So If I take Windows server 2003 I must pay 23 Euro.
And After it how I will use this Box? I don't need make settings like Ubuntu?

No, you will pay EUR 35.00. Don't you read my post? :P
And you will be able to connect to the server through RDP (VNC-clone).
The only settings you will need to make are those for uTorrent (or the client you'll choose).
But installing a FTP server or enhancing the security of your future KS should be one of your priority.
