Now that was a constructive post
Exactly the information I was looking for... not the answer i would have liked, but it leaves me not searching or wondering. And I do understand your intentions releasing server info. is there a forum or link on this site that has your mission-statement or whatnot? Sinse you obviously have a very real reason for running servers and are serious about it... What is that reason? i would be interesting in hearing it. Also, I would love to get into coding/programming/debugging if given the opportunity, I consider myself fairly apt to learning and understanding computer related issues, more than the average user I would suppose, and I do have a back up box i may even try installing and running Linux on. my problem is time constraints, between work, Social life and EQ, I have very little time for much else, and I take it up with eating, sleeping and a number of other hobbies. So, either I sacrifice time and go looking for information on how to set a server up and read exhorbatant amounts of coding information. Or I sacrifice Forum time and post what i am looking for and ask if anyone knows of a quick and easy way for someone without much time to get into it.
So, other than to thank you for the thorough response, this post is to inquire the quickest and easiest way (or link) to get myself setting up a linux based EQEmu server on an alternate computer. Any sufggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.
