Very nice server OS. You got plenty of tools that you can use for managing your server. Also, you can install apps without even opening a terminal. But if you prefer terminal, you can still use SSH.

Tool I use to run most Windows app. Actually, by the fact I mostly use open-source apps, they are all available on Linux. But when I need to use a Windows only, proprietary app, I use Wine and it works fine.

I use vanilla dwm as desktop manager. You only need the keyboard to use it and the keyboard shortcuts are very handy. You need a good knowledge of the terminal though. But that's what I want.
Xubuntu is my actual Linux distribution I use everyday. Very easy, lightweight and easy to customize.
This app is a peer-to-peer live streaming service over the dat:// protocol. It sounds really nice.
