Ok inspired by Alans idea ive decided to go ahead with this.
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=m37satitle=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.
Cheers,
Al.
