Best Linux distribution for a MiniITX server 675

Fanless is at best the 800Mhz board ! Is this wise ? The 1200Mhz board is much faster....
Emule works (amule works better I find) - remember it hashes the files, this is both an I-O and CPU intensive operation - this sucks on the 800Mhz via boards, Im using one for this at the moment so I know how much it sucks !
No "best"... Im using fedora core 3 on my via machine, Debian would be the "best" choice for performance as its simpler to cut down to the core - but personally I would save some time and go a simpler route.
I am an advanced All Linux would need some manual steps. If you want a GUI driven solution to do everything you want then best come back in ten years...... Its very unlikely you would need to build a kernel though !
You will need to edit some files for the XVNC server, for amule you would need to build and install wx libs and amule from source.
I would also need some XWindows With Xvnc server you can use the windows VNC client to connect.
Always a risk, just not a large one.
Forward ports 4660 to 4680 and 36406 in tcp and udp - some of the docs i've read are not complete, it will work with less ports - just much more slowly !
My contention is that even in the flawed world in which we live it is better than the alternatives. True, and unfortunate...
You can run X - but it wont be much faster, the 800Mhz via board its a bit slow for this setup
From windows this works well as an X server.
If you have the time then go for, but only if you want to spend the time.......

Luis Goodness what a dreadful site! You have to dig really deep to find out what Epios *is*. From the look...
