i shal step to the plate for i have ran a server for over 3 moths and im in prossess of rebuilding it. it use to run xp till it just broke to bits due to age. so i installed ubuntu for my xp cd was fried as well. but i have been using linux mostly for vm but now im using it as my server as well. also installed an old quantum fireball ex (6.4 gb) entirely as swap space. ip is 97.89.65.55 but im still setting up permissions.
