Diskless Linux + guntella client?

To contribute to the guntella network (and P2P in general), I would like to dedicate some of my bandwidth to a 24/7 gnutella proxy/servant (client which only acts as an ultrapeer, no download ability). Does anyone have any advice on how to do this? Since the machine will be 24/7, I want to go diskless, hence use either a floppy/usb boot disk for linux along with a gnutella client. Are there any combo bootdisk/clients like there are for other distributed computing tasks like RC5?

Thanks!
 
Then is there such a thing for soulseek? I would think not because it's closed-protocol with only one client, but I would run a diskless client if available.
 
My Bad - I only found one windows client on the soulseek website. There is no discussion of the protocol being open:

"There are two sources of protocol information at the moment: the source code of pyslsk and a draft document put together by SoleSeek team by studying pyslsk code and a bit of packet capture (latest cvs of that here). Both are unofficial. "

Not quite "open" it seems.

Now Bing, are you going to provide any information related to my initial question? If you feel that gnutella sucks, how about some more info on that topic?

Yeah, I believe it is closed source, however the soulseek guys approve of pyslsk and I believe even link to it and whatnot. Open enough to work well, I guess you'd say.

It hogs your cpu, you can't find much good stuff on there, a small fraction of files actually download, etc. Just use gnutella, and then use soulseek, you'll see what I mean.
