bitcoind's dependencies are very minimal

It should run on just about any proper Linux distribution, including all of the ones you mentioned

not the CentOs, it is likely to be very old-but-stable, and would therefor not work.
Gentoo it not recommended, it requires too much memory, becuase it build anything from source. more memory -> bigger price
Debian, we already tryed that one, it did not go well.
fedora or opensuse, i don't know they might work.

i recommend ubuntu, if its 10.04 LTS, or newer.

Why don't you just use linuxcoin ? It's debian based and has the latest bitcoin software ?

OMFG! it can't run in a vps, or at least it would require very much work to get it running.
the problem with vps is that it is running in some kind of chroot-jail, it not your own machine like a VM is.
its cheaper and a bit faster then a VM, but your control over it is more limited, than with a VM.

you can't just slide in a cd and install/run from it.

btw. your linuxcoin posts a beginning to be annoying, it can't be used for everything. and please read and understand the thread before posting

(yes im an @$$ again)

OMFG kokjo you are certainly a cock !! Hence the name right ? Your not even the OP so why do you care so much lol Jumping on everyone like a little Jack Russel.

@ the OP sorry forgot I already read this use Ubuntu I'd say and

Code:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:stretch/bitcoin
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install bitcoin
