i am not experienced with linux, but my job used to be a solaris unix admin, so im sure i will get to grips with linux quite quickly.
i want to go with linux to save money and not have to pay a monthly fee for a windows license.
i just dont know which distro to pick, for example, vectoral offers several different linux options.
i plan to install the linux i choose on my laptop first to learn how to set up the seedbox, and then when i understand how to install and get running torrentflux (for example) or perhaps rtorrent, then i will order my seedbox with that version of linux.
i was thinking about going with ubuntu.
i would like to run beryl too at home.
cheers
FC6 is easy to manage, and there's a nice guide here on the guides section for you to follow:

(it doesn't really matter that the guide is meant to be for leeware, if you have FC6 it will work for you)
for a server to use on a seedbox the easy distro to configure and run is fedora core . I have configured Linux seedboxes using fedora, debian sarge and ubuntu, and to get everything up and going quickly fedora is the simplest.

I'm starting to like centos minimal. No need to download 6 DVDs for install on a local machine, and it's based on RHEL so you get yum and some nice init tools. I used to be a debian fan, but they are too slow with "stable" packages and your system can get in a real mess using "testing" packages.
cheers guys.
one last question.
can i run beryl on fedora core? id like that to be my GUI on my home machine.
edit: found answer, FC does support beryl, think i will choose FC then.
