can i use ubuntu instead of debian or other linux system? cos ubuntu is the only linux installation that i own? any tips guys?

thanks for the tips guys, I've a copy of 7.10 (gutsy gibbon ..i think or is it hardy heron im not too sure) and it has socat already installed, but im still hunting down the iptable...thingy.... so after that all i have to do is make sure that the WoW IP server is the right one.. thats all right? (besides following the steps provided earlier in this thread)
