How can I build my own dedicated server?

[iKnow]

I got two computers and thought I would use one of them to create a dedicated server.

Does anyone have a tut on how I can do it?

Yes actually, making your PC a Server is very good idea
I mean, you can get no Bandwidth Problems, No Hardware Issues Downtime if got, then you can fix it yourself quickly, but one problem, if you host warez, your gone !

I would suggest CentOS. It's the easiest way to go.

why would you bother using a PC to run a dedicated servers. they are not meant to be used as servers to host unless they have sufficient hardware..(which i doubt your 2 computers have)
