torrent with Linux OS

[Flyers01]

I am looking for a Linux OS to run on my PC in vpc or vmware to just browse internet and download torrents
Any suggestion on something small build design just for this

[coopstah13]

Any distro can do this

Pick one you are comfortable with and install transmission web client

You could install ubuntu(or your own favorite distro) to a flash drive. Boot from it...download torrents to your hd ...safely browse the web..does that help?

Why don't you take the leap and dual boot for a fuller experience, as saaid before all distros support torrents. My personal favourite is mepis

I agree why not dual boot? Ubuntu makes it quick and painless. As far as a torrent client I have not found anything better for my use's then Deluge.

I've been so happy with Transmission that I haven't searched any alternatives... Deluge looks cool...

It seems flyers is wanting to use windows as default...I run a dual boot and I know first hand the benefits...however a flash drive install might be easier in that you can do essentially everything a dual boot can but without editing the partitions...

I also recommend a dual boot...the only thing I use windows for is video games...linux for everything else...

I have Ubuntu installed in various ways:
- Running alone in a machine
- In a pen drive
- Dual boot in another machine, and
- A virtual machine inside a PC running Windows 7

So, a virtual machine is another valid choice.
I use Transmission client in all of them and it is fine enough.

Ubuntu is a little difficult to use but its really cool..

[nguill00]

Difficult at first, you'll find that it's a lot easier than you currently think.

As a Windows user, at first i didn't like it, too much technical stuff, but i got a friend can't live without it.. Isn't it way too hard.. I still use windows but i have to use Linux Centos for my web page..
