It's basically the Xbox Live e-peen. You have to buy Microsoft Points to purchase anything from the store

When I have enough money for my build, I am going to use my old computer to host all my steam game files and a game server. What distro of linux would be best suited for this? <- linux nub

I would say Ubuntu is the best multipurpose distro for beginners and noobs. Works great for basic hosting too

Just install Samba, Set privileges and mount as network drive, it's what I do, much easier than going into FTP all the fucking time.

If you're going to run a linux server it would be best not to use the GUI. It takes some time to get used to it. Many distributions have a lot of documentation. I would recommend Ubuntu server edition. It makes the server installation process rather easy. It doesn't give you a GUI interface tho. As for what wingless said. Samba is a piece of software that allows you to create network shares. Setting up SSH would also be a good idea. It will allow you to connect remotely. There are also a few extra steps needed to make the srcds start on boot. I shouldn't be too hard. There is a learning curve but you should get it quickly. Also, ubuntu is very documented so it's a good choice.

I'll be setting up a dedicated Minecraft server as soon as I get a power supply for it (Buying from some guy not far from where I live) My original plan was to hook the server up to my main screen, then connect it to the internet and install TeamViewer. The rest I could do from my PC. It seems like a good plan to me, but I'm no expert. But would using Linux be a better idea?

Dear god what the fuck :psypop: I guess registration for that is just a 1 minute form?

Brb registering and then making a Facepunch web browser. The special user useability feature is the automatic redirection to Facepunch.

A good one is UltraVNC.

And run minecraft server in a screen session.

I think I'll just get ubuntu with the GUI, I want to have steam running on it.

[QUOTE=Shadaez;27324339]why do you want to run steam? ughuguhgghhg[/QUOTE] I have shit-loads of games and my family gets pissed when I download them, so I want to keep backups. I also want to run a game server. It's a fucking studio 540 what the hell else do I do with it? Plus people will think I am the shit if I have a server with all my stuff on it. Hehe, people are stupid.
