NaQ's Complete Setup Guide for Linux Seedboxes (Fedora Core/CentOS/Debian/Ubuntu)

[ar1n4mu]

You have to edit your fluxbox menu:

nano ~/.fluxbox/menu

then, under the section titled [encoding] add this line:

[exec] (uTorrent) {wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/uTorrent/uTorrent.exe}

Assuming that you have installed uTorrent in the default path of course.

I'm using now a nice seedbox for a low price. Very nice for users who cannot wait for the long OVH setup-time or when your country is not listed on their webpage: www.epicseeds.com

Did you do that part? When I got that error I didn't do that part.

Yep, your tutorial is really great. These are my first steps with linux and it's not as bad as I thought it would be. I think it's thanks to your tut, that my experience was rather gentle. Just one thing I'm stuck at: I tried running firestarter for the first time with sudo firestarter and I got(and still get) a lot of windows with errors and this error in xterm: Please file an enhacement request (quoting the above) at:
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=cairo

Can you(or any other linux-pro) help me? I'm sure it's just some minor detail I'm missing-_-

You want to run

vncserver -depth 24 :1

that fixed that error for me.
