what software do i need to use if i want to run a linux web server ? Can anyone here teach me .

And does a AMD XP 1.8GHz with 1GB Ram powerful enough for a game server ?

With a SDSL 512K network can i host up to 5 Server ?


Thank Alot if anyone can help me to solve this problem .

what software do i need to use if i want to run a linux web server ?

Apache would be what you want to install. It could possibly be on your system already and is available with any distro.

And does a AMD XP 1.8GHz with 1GB Ram powerful enough for a game server ?

Yes, most likely.


With a SDSL 512K network can i host up to 5 Server ?

Not if you expect it to work very well, no. 512k isn't enuff for one server let alone 5.

Hi Drewcifer,

Thank alot ... but can i check with you izit hard to configuartion on the apache web server to run on the network ???

If for you to choose either a Pentium 4 1.6GHz Processor with 512K Ram and a AMD XP 1.8Ghz Processor with 1GHz Ram ... which one will you choose to run for a game server .

512k RAM or a 1GHz RAM huh? I don't think you'll get very far with that esp seeing as how 1GHz RAM doesn't exist... ;)

I know what you meant :) But the more RAM, the better and longer it'll run w/o running out of resources :)

crazydon, easy way to setup a webserver

1. Setup your router ( open port 100`000 and ssh/telnet )
2. Install Suse linux or Redhat linux ( sure all other dis linux will work for that)
3. Download webmin from webmin.com ( look for the prm file)
4. Cd to that folder and type rpm -i filnename.prm ( filen= the webminfile :-) )
5. over webmin u can easy run apache and manage your server remotly


>>With a SDSL 512K network can i host up to 5 Server ?
Make sure you got own ip and not a dynamic ip

P.S. This is just a easy way to setup a webserver.. I would not run that for a webhosting biz or stuff like that :-)
