Hey 1st post treat me goooo~d :blink:

So I'm from Portugal and here the things aren't cheap and don't serve my purpose to well..

I am thinking to buy this - http://www.ovh.co.uk/individual/products/rps1.xml
Just for a month, to learn, to explore.. u know.
But I don't know if I am doing the right thing, I even don't know how to configure it nor what SO should I choose from this ones:

Choose your operating system:

Ready to use distribution:


Release 2 OVH (Gentoo) Basic distribution:


CentOS 5.0
Debian 4.0 (Etch)
Fedora Core 8
Gentoo 2007.0
Ubuntu Desktop 8.04
Ubuntu Server 8.04
Soooooooo.. any help?

Debian 4.0 (Etch).

Let me know if you want me to set it up for you :)

If you are new you can try to follow NaQ's Complete Setup Guide for Linux Seedboxes (Fedora Core/CentOS/Debian/Ubuntu)
Its a sticky in the seedbox section.

When it comes to selecting a OS it doesn't matter for your situation. Just flip a coin.

Well ubuntu desktop most closely resembles Windows but you do not get to know the ins and outs of linux using it.
I am currently using ubuntu and love it. There is also a lot more guides for ubuntu.
Just my inputs.
