vps question

i got a vps from hosting-ie. i tried following the guide thats stickied but have got stuck, im a linux noob please help..

im trying to install yum and this is what i see:


[root@yx6798-vps ~]# rpm -Uvh yum-2.0.3-0.fdr.1.rh90.noarch.rpm
warning: yum-2.0.3-0.fdr.1.rh90.noarch.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 8df56d05
error: Failed dependencies:
rpm-python >= 0:4.1.1 is needed by yum-2.0.3-0.fdr.1.rh90.noarch

and:

[root@yx6798-vps ~]# cd setups
[root@yx6798-vps setups]# rpm -ivh yum-2.4.0-1.src.rpm
warning: yum-2.4.0-1.src.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 69886cc7
error: cannot create %sourcedir /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
[root@yx6798-vps setups]#

the latest version of python seems to be installed what could be wrong?

rpm -q python (i think) to see what version is running, if it isn't 4.1.1 then download it and install that :)

oh, and you DON'T want a hosting-ie vps for a seedbox, the qos system kills the connection (accounces don't go through) when your up is anything close to 1mb/s

I did use their vps with shared gbit. I did get up to 20MB/s up and down if i only seed 1 torrent.

20MB or 20 mbit?

really andra. thats nice speed
i hope to get good speeds also :) they still didnt transfer my windows box to linux :)

In utorrent 20MB/s
But only when i did seed 1 torrent. They did have 3 vps that shared a masterserver that did have Gbit connections.

But the hardware was pretty slow so seeding more then 3 torrents did not work very well.

bottom line if you want something good dont buy vps :)
