RavensSoul Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 According to the RTM from Raven software the minimum specs for a dedicated server with that many people the machine should be a P3 600MB machine.. Rather extreme for a dedicated server machine I"m thinking.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweaker Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 Yea, sounds extreme to me. I'm running a server flawlessly on a pentium 200mhz with 64mb ram.... but it's a duel server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osx_rand Posted April 7, 2002 Share Posted April 7, 2002 i'm running my server on an iPaq with 256mb of ram and it supports 8 people no prob. it's using the linux dedicated server app, running on mandrake linux. i'm thinking of making it sabre only for a while, since i like the one on one fighting aspec of the game, yet all the weapons dont' really let you do that.

Mavrick063 Posted April 7, 2002 Share Posted April 7, 2002 Cool I was waiting for a reply like this one.. Your running mandrake.... I'm thinking about switching from win 2000 pro to mandrake but the only hold back I have is the windows progies i have and rather they will work with mandrake 8.2 or not??? will jk2o, Q3, Voyager if there ment to be for windows or will i have to switch my whole libary software to linux platform?

IPsoldat Posted April 8, 2002 Share Posted April 8, 2002 Well I am running 12 person LAN server on an IBM Thinkpad PII 300, 256Mb RAM with RedHat 7.2 Linux. I am not having any issues. Now the server is 18 person cause we run serveral bots on it. Now to answer the last guy. I know for JK2 all I did was use the Linux file and copy the pk3 files from my win32 CD to the dir. Same thing for Quake. Now this will run the server not the client. Not all apps port over to linux for that matter very few do. If you are talking about a dedicated workstation then I would say stick with Windows but for server go Linux! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
