I'm looking to sell however many Bitcoins to raise £1000.

Will sell for the best bid price on MtGox, using the exchange rate given on xe.com.

If no local buyers then I'll just do the trade through MtGox, but thought we might be able to save some the hassle of bank transfers and multiple exchange rates.

I have just upgraded my shared hosting account to a VPS, mainly so that I could experiment with the bitcoin deamon. However, after attempting to run bitcoind, I get the error:

./bitcoind: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9' not found (required by ./bitcoind)
./bitcoind: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.7' not found (required by ./bitcoind)

Searching these forums and google it appears that the version of bitcoin downloaded from bitcoin.org is not compatible with my operating system without editing the source? This, I'm afraid is probably beyond me at this point.

My hosting company offers several different operating systems (I currently have their default which is Centos 5), so I figure it's probably best for me to just ask them to change me over to another. Their options are: 

Ubuntu 8.04
Ubuntu 8.10
Debian 4
Debian 5
Fedora 9
Centos (Redhat Enterprise) 5

Can someone make a recommendation as to which one bitcoin is likely to install on 'out of the box'?

I don't know the differences between them, so I think I just want the most common one, that way when I am troubleshooting the advice I can find on Google will more likely be relevant.

Any help / advice is appreciated.

Thanks
