Yes?

where the hell do you live? i get a power outage average once a month[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Maccabee;25817356]No power outages for four years? Or do you have a UPS?
Mines going on a week. Everytime I do a bunch of configuration I do a reboot in case I forgot to restart something.[/QUOTE]
UPS, power outages happen every two months or so around here

I don't think I've even lived in one house for 4 years. Doesn't memory like buildup or anything or is that just windows?
Also. Why can't I use a transparent avatar.
your avatar is transparent
also no that's just windows
[QUOTE=ButtsexV2;25818007]your avatar is transparent

Fixed it.
And dude! Have you always been a gold member or have I just noticed now? Can't you make your avatar bigger now?
you just noticed it
also it's the same dimensions but we get .gif avatars and larger file sizes

slow motion is totally necessary because I didn't quite catch the big flash of light and loud noises the first time

Fort Worth, Texas. Usually every time there's a thunderstorm the power goes out. It's usually more of an off for 1 second then back on. It still powers off my server and I can't turn it back on till I get home from school and work.
[QUOTE=ButtsexV2;25816590]that's not a bad idea. I could get DSLinux on one and hook it up via wifi[/QUOTE]
Apache's a bit too heavy, but someone made some sort of port.

no way am I doing a web server I was just thinking a basic ircd
I'm gonna go with CentOS since I've used Windows and Linux as a server before. With Linux I've seen massive uptime.

Don't think anyone's ported any over to DSLinux.
Ubuntu is good for getting-to-know-linux, and is pretty friendly, once you get comfortable I would switch to CentOS or Redhat

If you've never used Linux, and have no intention of having to start from scratch with learning a new operation system, just use WinXP or something everyone has a CD laying around with.
If you don't install tons of junk on it, any OS can run stable for years.

itt: about 12 sysadmins and CS majors
[QUOTE=Cornelisjuh;25802721]Well you could use a hacked form, but the last thing you want with your server is it being unstable.[/QUOTE]
You'd have to patch the kernel because the P4 he has is probably a Northwood and only has SSE/SSE2, where the latest OSX versions require SSE3.
[QUOTE=Profanwolf;25803864]Windows Server 2008 R2 however, IS very stable for what it is, i think a box i have was up for 90 days or so, before becoming slightly unstable that might not even have been caused by the OS itself, but by me being a moron, windows server 2003 wasn't nearly this good.[/QUOTE]
???
Windows Server 2003 is a great server OS. It has a MUCH lighter resource footprint than Server 2008 by far.
[QUOTE=ButtsexV2;25817222]that's nice, I've got a Linux box that was going on 4 years before a power outage knocked it out[/QUOTE]
Longest I ever went was 776 days before CPU#2 had a fan failure and shut down. :saddowns:
I pretty much had no choice but to install a command line OS. 13 year old PC's don't really like GUI's on modern operating systems. Especially considering how I have limited RAM (384 MB). I just used Ubuntu Server and after setting everything up, it works quite well as a NAS and remote file server. No need for a GUI really since it sits in my closet most of the time.

running a minecraft server doesn't count as being a sysadmin, and in no way does computer [i]science[/i] qualify you to give knowledge in an administrative field of [i]information technology[/i]
obviously the OP can't afford the best OS for a server, but if he's at all serious about it he should probably consider a BSD or Windows Server 08 R2, not some shitty Linux distro that upgrades [b]EVERY SIX MONTHS!!!![/i] and breaks everything to shit
Insult other users.
Suggest OP to use Windows Server 2008.
Riiiiight.
Ubuntu does major updates every 6 months. If you want shit to stay the same for long periods of time, go with Debian. If you an even longer update cycle, I reckon CentOS has a long as shit update cycle.
