Hello,

yesterday I've tried(and succeded) setting up my first LFS Dedicated server. My connection is fast enough to hold up at least 3 32slot servers. But...it's the hardware that's bugging me. It's an old AMD Duron 700MHz with round ~768MiB of memory running on Linux(so it pwnz urz windoze monsterz)
Until now, I've used it as a gateway and firewall for my network, and as a fileserver. So, here's the thing, will this hardware be able to support at least one 20slot LFS server, or will I need to buy another machine just for that purpose?
As far as I've been trying it out yesterday, there were total 4 or 5 players on the server and I didn't experience any sort of lag, been monitoring the server at the same time, and ram usage didn't go over 1.5%, the CPU as well, usage by LFS server I mean. And so far it's only set to demo(waiting for the MasterCard to arive so I can order S2 and then switch the server to S2 as well)

Thank you in advance and best regards,

Easy.. Server environment in Linux using Mono is very light.

Track loading is the heaviest thing but you can always find an excuse to go bigger, better, faster

Nice machine..

Nice post..

:rolleyes:

Memory-wise, the LFS dedi is rather modest. CPU load could be more of a problem for that machine; I've got a 2GHz Celeron / 512MiB / CentOS 4, 3 relatively well filled (~25 conns each) servers are just about as much as it can take.

Seems that I'll need to get the load up on the server and see how it'll handle it.
Any volunteers that would want to help in loading up the server?

Do you mean with users or setting it up? I'm sure you mean users, anyways post server details and I'll take looksy

Users, users. It's set up as I wanted it to be.
Server details, name, X-Shells.org LFS Server, track BL1, demo server
