Yay! By "this" I guess you mean "make a machine which I can use for torrenting when my desktop is switched off"? > Im just wondering if someone can write this up in a bit more clear > english "this"? > Also i use Ktorrent. On a desktop system running Kubuntu, that's not susprising. However if you want a very small, low power, low noise device which is _only_ going to be downloading torrents then installing the full KDE desktop is massive overkill. I appreciate that you're not an expert with *buntu but having a command line based system (maybe based on an nslu2) would be pretty easy to do, and the vast majority of instructions have already been provided in that lengthy mail I already sent. > Whats the best nslu2 to go for? The nslu2 is a specific device from Linksys. Other small-form-factor machines are available. Personally I just use an old PC, but I did provide links to other options yesterday. > from where? http://www.linutop.com/ http://aleutia.com/ http://search.ebay.co.uk/search/search.dll?from=R40&_trksid=m37&satitle=nslu2 Whilst the lintop and aleutia will come with linux and a graphical environment pre-installed, the nslu2 will probably not, and might end up being more work. http://www.nslu2-linux.org/ has lots of info about the slug (nslu2). > Im currently running gutsy but thinking of installing hardy (desktop > addition). anything else i should look out for? > Again, running a full graphical desktop is somewhat overkill for a single function device.
