Each Bukkit download at http://dl.bukkit.org appears to have a "nix box" download; "Running a server on a *nix box? This one's for you!" I'm running CentOS 5.4 (Lunix) which supports wget, but before I have always used the regular download and uploaded it into my server through FTP (Filezilla); where it worked fine. Are there any differences or advantages? Bump. Maybe I'm just totally confused and it's the same file just through wget. Any help?

From what I read/understand its just a dedicated server running a Linux distro. Ex. Ubuntu, CentOS, Debian, etc.
