Go with fedora. With this guide it's really easy to get utorrent running on linux:

I think that Windows 2003 Server Web Edition is FOR FREE... Mark it and "continue" You will see price for license 0.00GBP :) But Windows eat more RAM than Debian... If you know how to install uT at Debian, choose Debian 4.0, it's ok, i have it at my server and i never had any problems ;)

hi
i read that guide..i want opinion on the OS b4 i buy it

I'm just starting to learn linux but I was told that Debian has a similar set-up to windows..


But I still think it will be something to learn..

:)

Windows is bad 4 seedbox, coz it eats moore RAM than Debian... And here's the problem, my mate have Win Server 2003 WebEdition at seedbox and he's not happy from using his seedbox... He have a low speeds... U need a lot of RAM with these speeds !!! Choose Debian 4.0... I'm telling u ;)

I ll suggest go with Debian or Fedora

Also, try rtorrent. Its really easy to use once you get it going. Just read their manual

With rtorrent and ssh you will get the best out of your box

uTorrent gives many problems at high speed if you dont have enough RAM

I just set my seedbox up with Naqs guide.
I have 512 meg of ram on it I went with FD 6
I'm not having any problems with disk over load I'm trying to push as hard as I can just to see I'm using Utorrent .
It' been 24 hours and now I have over 500 gigs up :)
Back to Naqs guide It has everything that you need
Just ask questions and they will be answered :)

Yhea windoows web is free.
if u get it with 2gig of ram ul be fine and hit 11mb each time.
Maybe even 1 gig is surficient to.

One thing with OVH is that you can change operation systems.
You can start with nix and if it's to much of a pain change to windows.

I would rent one In a heartbeat But I live In a county that can't rent it.
Maybe someday I will figure out how order one.
