Hi, im currently testing Windows Vista and it really sucks ass, memory leak and other shit. Well im going to use Linux on my two workstations again (and also on my laptop wich i will buy week28).

I was planning to use Gentoo on my main workstation and Debian Sarge on my 2nd computer as server.

Main workstation: Athlon64 3000+ , 1GB RAM, 80GB, GeForce6800GT 256MB PCIexpress
2nd Computer(server): Sempron64 2800+, 256MB RAM, 120GB, GeForce3 Ti200 64MB AGP

I was thinking of installing as less networking apps as possible on the main workstation and keep these on the server like IM chat and IRC (CenterICQ and irssi). And then SSH into the server from the workstation and chat to my friends that way
What do you think?

But i will keep other important software (for me) on the main like: FTP client (must be fxp-able), Open Office, Wine, GIMP, DVD burning application and multimedia apps for MP3s and movies.

Also, can u recommend me a good BitTorrent client for gentoo?

Thx for taking your time reading this!

What exactly is the purpose of your server? If you're planning to run it as a webserver I would advise you not to put any extra apps on it, run those all locally on your workstation, and keep the server install minimal (including running it in text mode if you are prepared to do that).

This page lists the packages currently in portage for Bit Torrent. Of the ones I've tried, Azureus is my favourite, but I haven't run any of them under Gentoo.
