would anyone be whilling to help me step by step once i get a kimi server? To help me set it up as a box. My brain injury took away my years of knowledge

I meant upload speed bro, thanks for considering.

@jagten They say that it's a 200Mbps network up to 1Gbps. Assuming you only get 200Mbps you should be able to upload and download at ~25 MB/s. That's pretty fast, you probably won't have much problem with upload bandwidth. My best advice for you is to focus on being one of the first members of the swarm using something like autodl-irssi or flexget with an irc tie in. The earliest members of the swarm tend to get the most upload opportunities in my experience.

will the ppl from https://quickbox.io/ install everything for me? What os does kimsufi run on because I am reading that quickbox only works on certain OS's.

I want to get a server and turn it into a seedbox with open vpn/vnc/rutorrent/ftp access and security of my identity

Kimsufi supports lots of linux distributions, they list them on their website:

- Arch Linux
- CentOS
- Debian
- Fedora
- FreeBSD
- Gentoo
- openSUSE
- Slackware
- Ubuntu Server
- Ubuntu Desktop

Quickbox.io does offer install services. Just read their website, they list their offerings under the Marketplace menu.

my question is, how secure will it be since I know nothing at all about linux. Would I be better to get a seed box and on the side get a kim server and learn? Before I do any seeding. To protect myself

If you're looking to learn linux then I'd say what's probably the best way for you would be to buy nothing and instead install virtualbox on your machine and work with linux in a VM. There's no reason for you to have to have a server in a data center to learn what you're doing. A small linux VM won't require many resources and you can keep wiping it and starting over if you mess things up.
