I was wondering how many resources mvdsv+ktx needs. what if we add one more port? what about qwfwd? fteqw? qizmo?..
Nowadays anyone can rent a VPS, its so easy. but how much you need to host your servers? (or other stuff you might find useful, like a irc bouncer, squid http proxy, etc etc etc..)
Here's an example. i took this info from the new Miami servers, which are hosted at Semoweb. we got the cheapest one.
So this server, right now, is running 2 mvdsv+ktx ports, one qizmo and one qwfwd. 0 players everywhere
im not sure what happens if the servers were full. i'm not a linux expert, but according to "free" it looks like there's plenty of free memory, more than 50%. on "top" though, that's not what it looks like. im confused
any1 who knows more about linux can give some tips to help determine the minimum specs needed ?

any1 who knows more about linux can give some tips to help determine the minimum specs needed ?
never argue with an idiot. they'll bring you back to their level and then beat you with experience.
