Hetzner.net Assistance

[JDB]

I am going to soon purchase a dedicated root server from this company. I was hoping that someone might give me some assistance with doing so, such as what I am supposed to get that is good for hosting. I am not familiar with LINUX, so please consider that.

1. How do I access the server?
2. What OS should I choose?

I host TFS 0.3.6 or 0.4.

Regards,
JDB.

You controll Linux by commands, but you can also get a view of a screen I think though it takes more ram.

Take Linux!

If I get the dedicated, will I have to go through the process of opening ports, etc..?

Myself used hetzner when i hosted my servers.

Did not use linux tough.

Linux can be hard in the beginning but when you learn, it's much better then winblows

+ TFS works better with it 0.o

Would be nice if someone could help me out on MSN or something.
I am trying to purchase a root server and it wants my international phone number, etc... It keeps saying I am entering it wrong.
