moving to linux for encoding

[starwarsandrisk]

alrighty... well... i've been looking at yoper...... is there a ed2k or bittorrent distro for it?.... that would help alot!..... anyways... i also wanted to know if theres a way i can partition off a part of my drive.... and normally have it boot to windows.... but alternately have it boot to linux with like a floppy or a keystroke..... that would be perfect....

i'm not sure about edonkey but there is an overnet client (command line) and a gui for it as well.
there is also a port for bittorent...
run a google search on them, you'll come up with useful stuff.
dual booting windows & linux is not only possible, but fairly easy as well. You will need a boot loader such as 'Lilo' or 'Grub'. I think all gnu/linux distros come with either one or both of them...
there is plenty of documentation about it, i suppose yoper should mention partioning and dual booting in some 'installation-howto' or something like that...

lol.... no i meant an ed2k link to download the iso's.... ftp takes too long..... and if it gets interupted... its all over... gotta start again.... thats the worst part.... so.... could somone post an ed2k link for yoper?
