I think it is time I went OVH with Linux.

Anyone want to help with some hints, which distro to start off with would be the first step?

TOO MUCH SPEED!!!

im still amazed when i see anything over 4 mb/s and here you guys are talking about Gbit servers, i doubt its necessary unless you're an uploader for a really active tracker but i guess i would do the same if i had the means.

1Gbit lol 100mb is fast enough

No wai could I/would I ever spend too much on a seedbox, but as my telephone line & internet have reduced in costs, I can afford to spend what I save on a seedbox, but iGB boxes are way out of my league.

The nice £40pm 750GB box is just what I was looking for, but the only free distro is a linux one, hence my request above

SgtMajor,

I'd recommend something like Ubuntu or CentOS for beginners to intermediate users. Both have excellent package management systems and are actively developed. You should be able to download and install a build of wine for utorrent, run azureus, set up an FTP with SSL fairly easily for both these distros. Also, both distros have really large communities for support.

Edit: Sorry for hijacking your thread Filez

Potentially, you could go above 2 Gbit/s but I have no idea what hosting company would offer a package above 2Gbit/s.
