We can help you do it for free bud, if you're a complete noob i'd recommend just installing Windows on it. Does the job perfectly :)

However if you're wanting linux there is a very good guide at the top of this forum.

windows is an extra £15 per month Windows 2003 Basic
is this like just using my windows pc ?

Forget paying extra for window get an Ubuntu server and log into it the desktop using Nomachines :)

read that through thats what scares me :cry:

[nbo]

naa, it's easier than it looks, trust me cuz 50% of it is explanations for other OS's and 30% of it is extras that you don't have to do..
and if you get a Ubuntu desktop i could explain it in about 45 seconds..

if i have this installed Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Desktop operating system
do i need to do much in the way of extra setting up thanks guys

With Ubuntu Desktop installed, you can simply use NXClient:
http://www.nomachine.com/select-package-client.php

This will allow you to connect to the desktop like RDP in windows.

Then Install Wine and utorrent:

You will also need to install an FTP Server:

why do you have to install an ftp server?

[Carlpb]

To transfer the files you download from torrents from the server to you home computer.

Well I prefer to use ProFTP.

Why do you need an FTP server?

Just log in with your favourite FTP client in SSH mode. No extra FTP server needed.
