 Hi Steven,

 Azureus is great as a graphical client, but is bulky if you want to run it on command line.  Once you get it installed graphically, there is a chat client built in for further help.  It's the future.

 Here are the step by step instructions:
 http://azureus.sourceforge.net/howto_linux.php 

 You'll need JRE installed (Java Runtime Environment).

 Azureus can be run via commandline with a few patches.  Check this out:

 I think I'd just go with a simpler program if you only want commandline bittorrent.

Azureus can be used as a bit torrent server (I guess the term is 'using the included tracker to host/publish torrents'). I would like to set it up on a ubuntu 7.04 server, since I don't want to let people access my workstation and also don't want the overload. I take it that I would have to install a version of Java, if the server does not include it in its default packages, but that should not be a problem. 

So: 1. Would I have to install the graphical interface (windows manager and xserver) to use azureus on a server? I know that simply installing it would probably give me the dependencies, but I do not want to mess with the server unnecessarily, as it is running just fine now, thank you. 

2. Are there any serious security considerations involved with installing the above-mentioned GUI?

Thanks,

Z.
