MTA Server On Linux

[EdwardTobia]

i have a computer with LinuxMandrake v10 on it and i downloaded the Linux Server, i double clicked it to execute it but nothing come up

do enyone know why???

thnx

[MAD_BOY]

omg, learn linux....

open it with a terminal

example:

you are logged in as EdwardTobia, you open a terminal

lets say you extracted the server into /home/EdwardTobia/mtaserver/

then you type in the terminal:

./home/EdwardTobia/mtaserver/MTA0.4.1-server

(i think MTA0.4.1-server was the name of it, if its not, change that to the right name) then the server starts with the default settings

you can change the settings by editing the config.cfg (or whatever its name is, its a .cfg file that's in the package) with your favorite text editing tool

thats why i tell everyone to get xandros.

lmfao.

also, in the console, wouldnt it be 'home/eddy/Desktop/MTASERVER/0.4.1server'

with the ' things?

lol.

[MAD_BOY]

no, the ' thingys aren't needed, atleast, i never used them in any distro, and it always worked

Open your terminal.

cd /home

mkdir mta

cd mta

wget link to tar here

tar -zxf name of tar

cd name of tar

screen ./MTAServer0.4.1

Ctrl a+d

now, does anyone know for a fact that the linux server is more stable (or vice versa)

i know all us unix people will just outright assume it's better on linux, but has anyone actually tested linux vs win32?

linux uses way less CPU, therefore, the speed increses on the server.

[orappa]

It all depends on the program really. A badly-written program will be unstable on both operating systems.

Linux also seems to be less on memory usage.

[Slothman]

yes, we all know linux is lighter on resources, but im asking if people have noticed significant changes, like less user crashes (when all users crash at once) or maybe better syncing.

ps:mandrake has the best install, so damn easy (and a kickass partition tool)

[OpiuM.]

did you ever try XandrOS?

noone has tried it and is telling me its worse then anything else.

the reason i got it was to have somin nobody else had btw.

(try it, it has one of the best partition tools.)

[b0b0]

Plain old fdisk works for me.
