....almost all? is there other software to use to run an FFXI private server?

Of the core developers, only lautan and I work with Linux at all, and only lautan uses it as his primary development platform. I think it is also fairly safe to assume more servers out in the wild are running on windows boxes, although if you are trying to set up a server on a VPS a linux box will ...

oh, in that case i don't even know what project darkstar is, no help here hmmm now im completely curious LOL. perhaps some one else will know what is going on here then....if u read the wiki links i posted specifically the one for project darkstar it explains a lot...but as i said...what exactly is...

darkstar project != project darkstar i figured as much lol im curious as to the difference between the 2 tho....has/does any one here use or participate the RedDwarf server project? is it more up to date seeing as how the actual darkstar project was discontinued and aparently changed to the above m...

So im reading around wikipedia gathering more information and i pull up a wikipedia page for "project Darkstar" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Darkstar and there seems to be a lot of useful information about the actual project darkstar there that are not mentioned other places i have read for ...

Well, luckily compiling software on linux is usually straightforward. If you are willing to learn then Lubuntu makes a good starter desktop distro that will run well on less-than stellar hardware. It'll give you a windows-ish desktop environment to work from and all the amenities of a modern linux ...

I recommend Debian mainly because the installer lets you install a very bare-bones system so you can install only what you need using apt. That said, its not as small as DSL but it also has a much richer availability of packages. If you are going to install a full desktop environment anyway then it...

My personal recommendation is Debian, but you may find that the packages it installs are often a little more outdated than you like in the stable version so testing might be more suitable. If you run a 32-bit program in a 64-bit OS, the program itself is restricted to seeing 4 GB of RAM. Thanks to ...

If you are running a dedicated server you can avoid the load that a hefty OS puts on a system by running it on a linux system without running a graphical desktop environment. hmmm.... all cmd prompt linux? what distro is generally used? i was thinking something way small like a hard drive install o...

Running a server on a 64-bit OS is currently not possible, but I have put in work towards making that possible on occasion and its getting rather close now. In order to make use of the GPU at all, a lot of the basic code of the server would have to be changed. If you are running a dedicated server ...
