new server: windows vs. linux and VMware?
Hey folks,
I've read in several places in the forums and maybe even the FAQ that, OS stability aside, the Linux EQ Emu server is simply more stable than the Windows server. Is this the case, or is the stability difference due to OS stability differences? I can admin a stable windows server, that's not an issue. But if the EQ Emu binaries are really more stable under Linux than Windows, I'll consider it. But frankly I'd rather run it directly under Windows as long as there are no disadvantages to doing so.
Also, is anybody running EQ Emu under a VM hosting either Windows or Linux? I was thinking that if I am going to run Linux (if there are significant advantages), that I would host it as a VM on my quad-core Win2008 rig which, according to my other thread, seems to have plenty of horsepower (quad-core 2.5ghz, 16gb ram, several TB for storage, etc.).
Has anybody run EQ Emu under a VM and found any issues?
Thanks
