I strongly suggest you get a Windows OS, as I guess it's your first time with a Linux OS.rax1418 wrote:I see, I'd like to thank everyone for their willingness to share their opinions on this matter.
This is what I've ended up with:
2GB RAM
160 GB HD
Linux with CentOS
Unmetered Bandwidth
5 GB Backup Space
I was wondering what I need to do in order to access the web using PuTTY with Cygwin/X on the dedicated server that I purchased two days ago. I can manage logging in and using various commands but I cannot for the life of me figure out what needs to be done in order to access the internet through a browser of some sort and download what I need to have on the machine.
I was also wondering what needed to be done in order to transfer the server files I have on my home PC to the dedicated server in question.
With the program PuTTY, all that I have to work with is a command prompt screen. I'm beginning to wonder if I should have just installed some type of Windows OS so I could use Remote Desktop.
Thank you.

Otherwise, I might suggest browsing various linux forums to get some sort of basic understanding on how it works.
