No unfortunately i havent this option.
But if you choose between the both above, which one would you take?

Try using the search for CenOS and then for Fedora.

When searching for Fedora, these two threads look interesting

This thread shows you how to install Utorrent on Fedora 4

Have a look at the search results yourself, there's quite a few interesting results

I forgot to mention if it's a vectoral you are going for i am told they will be able to install fedore 6 if you private message customer support after passing your order.

Fedora 7 is even newer maybe you should try getting that?

thank you guys.
will try to get the newest fedora.
If i cant get it, then i will go for CentOS.
I read that it is more stable.

I would go CentOS over Fedora for a server ... fedora is more for desktop and RHEL/CentOS are more for servers.

I know RHEL is based off of Fedora but they strip some things out in the conversion.

i tried to do vectoral with fedora 4, fedora 4 is no longer supported it was awful

[wmumascot]

Fedora 4 should be fine...and I'm no big fan of CentOS, but I have heard good review about it :D

I use centOS 5 on my seedbox and havent had any problems with it.

[R3c0n]

CentOS 4 is the best :)

[R3c0n]

CentOS 4 Rocks :)

[R3c0n]

[nikmash232]

wow spam....well umm i would stick with fedora...because centos is worth a cent

[chillincool]

doesn't really matter, all you're doing is installing a torrent program on it anyways?
