    Im running a 1.8ghz P4 with 1gb ram and a 20gb ide hdd and no video card(built-in) using MineOSand it really runs well with no lag with 4 people (max ive had at one time so far) mining and exploring.

    The biggest drain on the system will do the OS you run minecraft server on so MineOs at 65mb and no gui will give you nearly every ounce of computing power available to run the server and not a load of processes you dont need.

    http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=115788 Give it a try and you will be suprised at what you can get out of your machines!

    edit: I raed somewhere that the ideal amount of ram per user was about 100mb but im sure with out to much exploring 50-75mb per person would be ok but thats just a guess.

    I also personally think SSH/SCP sucks compared to FTP. Obviously, there is the advantage of being efficient and stuff like that, but you drop down in user-friendliness and "simplicity" by a large factor (which I THOUGHT was the aim here). There's nothing easy or simple about using those protocols over FTP which is almost always accompanied with a better GUI (SSH/SCP clients generally don't have one at all!). Also, I don't mean to offend, but I'm not interested in becoming a "competent Linux server administrator." Really. I just want to use it do this, and that's it.


    I use win7 as i play a lot of games and mmo's and linux isnt an option(yes wine but No!) but i found this which might help. I think scp etc is more secure.
    The major reason for implementing SFTP versus FTP is security. FTP is not even remotely secure. During an FTP session, your username and password are transmitted in clear text. If someone is eavesdropping, it is not difficult for them to log your FTP username and password.
    SCP (Secure Copy) is a non-interactive command-line tool for securely transmitting files from a machine to another. It is a secure replacement for RCP and provides a similar command-line syntax. SCP is strongly based on SFTP but is often a more suitable choice when setting up unattended file transfers using scripts

    Konqueror is the file manager for the K Desktop Environment. It supports basic file management on local UNIX filesystems, from simple cut/copy and paste operations to advanced remote and local network file browsing.

    Hope its usefull to you linux folks.

    SSH/SCP login keeps failing. I went to /etc/hosts.allow and specifically added my IP but that didn't work. I can't login as "root" with the password I used when running the 2nd setup script. It always says "access denied." This is on Ubuntu and using both SecPanel and PuTTY.


    I'm not that hot with linux ill be honest but i dont think you cann go in as root. I think you need to use
    address 192.168.x.x
    usr:tc
    pw:xxxx(whatever you chose in step two)


    I could be erong but this worked for me using WINscp

    I just want to say thanks for making this, Its amazing!

    I can now run a server at home on a p4 2.8ghz 1gig machine for family and a few friends and get better performance than a hosted solution a friend was paying for! Smug mode :smile.gif:
