Say I have an FTP server, however, I also have no way of running any scripts on it (it's JUST an ftp server).

Is there a way I can torrent files from my computer (or another server, whatever) directly to that FTP server without having to actually save all the files on my computer/server?

This is what Innovation looks like. Not "slightly modified from last year", not taking away headphone jacks, not merely making the phone a few centimeters larger, not minutely tweaking the Operating System to change how many apps you can fit into a folder, and not iPhone 2013S but with a cool new trailer. This is Innovation, switching up the fundamental way that you use your phone by dramatically altering screen size, honing the cameras to perfection, changing the home button to be as convenient as possible, several new ways to unlock and navigate your phone, a voice command system that actually adapts to best benefit the user, new tech to accompany your phone like VR, DeX, 360 cameras, fingerprint scanners, and enough to actually take your breath away and make you say "this actually looks like the future." I feel like I'm in 2040 where anything is possible now, and that's just something that Apple hasn't been able to do in forever. They deserve their comeuppance for stalling the industry and making everyone believe that there's nothing they can change about their phones, but in reality Samsung and everyone at the Open Handset Alliance have been pushing the boundaries and innovating constantly while Apple's just been sitting greedily and lazily with their iPhone 5 - err - 8. It's time the people are shown the next step in smartphone technology.

Greetings /g/entooman,

I have a 13 inch late 2006 Macbook (black)

Goal is to dual boot loonix on the lappy,
any recommendations for a distro coming from a linux naive person? Ubuntu is too plebeian for me, I'd like something that focuses heavily on the command line.

I already attempted to install Kali to no avail (tried everything),
so I already have Refind on the machine.

I'd like to get down and dirty with it so I'm wondering if I could Install Gentoo as per the frequent recommendation, or if Arch Linux would also be an option.

Thanks in advance for your time and response.
