Hi all!

I've just found my way here and am very interested in setting up a bnc on a shell. Thing is im all new to this and needs some initial advice. In the application form im supposed to fill in wich operative system i prefer for the shell. My question is simply put; which operative system is the best to use for someone who is new to this?

Thanks in advance!

I'd suggest Redhat or Debian. Linux is the most easy one, so you should better play it safe.
FreeBSD is good too.

Thank you very much for the quick reply Afonic!

Guess its time to send in the application after choosing one of your suggestions :)

You're welcome!

Make sure you first register as an FTP user and then send the application for shell (so that you can include the system/username info).
Thank you for supporting Polarhome!

Yeah, i've already registered as FTP user, got my first email from polarhome, and has accessed my account by FTP so, so far so good. Now im just gonna print out the application form somewhere cause my printer died recently.

Thx for the nice welcoming :)
