yep thats all basic networking so ya there all working cross server. sence im on a static ip for the server makes it alot easyer

There is a bit more than networking involved for most tools like GeorgeS and even Navicat if you want to be able to use them over the LAN. You probably need to adjust some settings for MySQL if it works the same as it does on Debian.

If you don't use either of those tools, then I guess it doesn't matter :P

nope i use them tools no problems on my windows system connected over the ip.. thats the great thing about a static ip not on my local network its just the same as if you had a gm connecting to you database that did not live in the house.. but ya i understand what your saying and yes there working fine.

im getting an error on the startup script i use the one from debline and its telling me a bunch of output then says
+/persist_world
shmat failed! invalid argument

then i get no windows or anything like that nothing like a windows server on there i got a few windows 2 for zones and 1 for server. anyways.. am i doing something wrong?

i use ./stop and it says it successfully removed alot of stuff and does not say no zones running or anything like that

I know it is a big step in a different direction but if you have issues with Fedora 8 look into Gentoo. I have tried a lot of different distributions before and after using Gentoo and I always end up coming back. It has a longer installation process but I personally think it is worth it.

The biggest advantage to linux right now is that there are so many different flavors out there. Take the time to find one that gives you what you want and that you are comfortable with.
