Hi!
We currently use a WindowsXP "Server" as a "router" via ics. as a fileserver and mainly for filesharing via emule..

now, after all worms and security holes we finally what to switch over to linux.

i alreaddy set up a fileserver with samba - so i know it works and how it works.

but emule/edonkey? is there a good client for linux?

what distribution would you suggest? i currently only downloaded redhat and it runs fine on the other system...

eDonkey for Linux, Mldonkey, cDonkey, Lmule, and Xmule are all Linux file sharing aps that use the eDonkey network.

RedHat is a fine distro. Is there something specific about RedHat you don't like? It helps to have something to narrow down what you want in a distro. For example, if you wanted newbie friendliness, then Mandrake is often recommended.

If you want the friendly either Red Hat, Mandrake, or Suse. If you want a stable, fast and not bloated, Slackware is the one. But Slackware doesn't have the support that the other 3 I mentioned have so you might have to install by source some of the apps.
