grate! haha performance loving ha? i like XFCE too... though i don't use it that much.. heard that a new debian leader is gonna be elected...
Well, you gotta love its stability. Great distro for servers. I run all my servers on Debian.

XFCE...You learn to like it over time. Actually the main reason for XFCE was that KDE was just too big to DL (300+ mb). XFCE with most of the addons waas only 10 mb.
Since I did complete net install, XFCE was the best choice for me.

Dont know that much about the Debian management side as I'm really not that interested in who's leading what. I'm more interested in its usage and packages.

no ubuntu is having compzi pre installed... and it is runing on top of gnome when u enable "Desktop features" or something like that... from the menu..

and yes u can just install beryl or compzi and get the effects but it is a bit risky... but anyways its fun!
ah! so its an application for gnome..

One problem with Ubuntu is that you cannot easilyupgrade it's oses without breaking the system. That is to say if you run Edgy, Upgrading to Feisty by downloading the new kernel wont work. This was disscussed in the Debian user list reasently (Debian being the base system Ubuntu is built on).

Quite easy dude. Get a second hand PII machine and install Debian Sarge ( or any linux distro without X ).
Or use a Virtual PC for it . Vmware comes to mind.

its like a window manager that runs on top of other window managers... im not clear on this. google compzi and beryl... they look so good man... damn amazing...

yeah must be... even in the past there were some issues in distro upgrading...

windows servers Suck Ass

I dont know why many people in sri lanka runs windows 2003 server pro in their servers. first thing is it eats a lot of resources and the security wholes. today in my university the windows server crashed, and we had to wait a lot of time to get in to our windows accounts, cuz we had linux in our the client machines some of us were able to log in to it and do their programming work, but still couldnt get our printouts cuz its going through the windows sever.. :angry:

and talking about security in XP. you dont have any security if you have linux dual booting in the same box...ha ha haaaa. yep im talking about reality, the lab admins in the university are having a hard job trying to protect their passwords..lol. we just go to the system32 folder and get the SAM file and devrypt the passwords using SAM cracker...lol. what miracles can linux do ne?:lol:

Well no need to buy a separate PC then. Just install VMware and create a virtual server.
Or simply install the server software on your existing linux distro. Almost any linux distro can be used as a server.

i can keep my lap on 24/7... but ma mom doesn't like that cause the electricity bill goes too high... hehe.. but i still keep it on ;) im running apache(im having ma own forum and stuff here! hehe.. thanks to OS..), sshd.. on it... but the thing is the lap is always busy with torrents... and when some torrent download or upload is in progress my router is ultra busy.. and slow to respond... so http requests that comes to ma web server gets dropped and stuff... i feel that the router is not capable enough! :) ????

hmmm... i wanna play with VMware yes... but if i emulate two machines.. it will drastically reduce my lap's performance ??? will it???

A laptop doesnt take much power. Running one 24/7 will give you other problems as Laptops are not designed to run 24/7.

This is not because the router is incapable. Its because you dont have enough bandwith left for your web site!

hmmm... i wanna play with VMware yes... but if i emulate two machines.. it will drastically reduce my lap's performance ??? will it???
Not if the guest os doesnt use much resources.
IF you try to run windows 2k or higher, you WILL need lots of memory and HD space but if you install another linux ver without X as your guest os, you wont see any performance drop in the host.

there is another desktop that i can 24 hours.. i don't run it cause it needs a lot of power, and the lap is the only thing that i can run 24 hors... and as you said its risky... :(

hehe... its not only the bandwidth, sometimes when i try to access the web server using the globle IP, the router replies with a bad URL message! this does not happen all the time... only sometimes... the router is confusing http requests to the web server as requests to it self(it have a web server as well...)...

so its not bandwidth is it?

yeah thats true... without X it won't take much memory... i guess i should try that... and hehe... if u run win inside hehe... it will be a waste... but still when u run win on top of linux it works better :)

Install linux on the desktop and run it without the monitor. That'll drop the power usage.

Cant say aything without know what kind of setup you got there. From what you say, I suppose you have a Single public IP setup, maybe ADSL ? and your router is NATing your PC & Laptop to access the web and its also doing a port forwarding to allow the web to access your web server ?
In such a setup if you try to access the public IP from your laptop/PC, It'll send you to the Router instead of your internal webserver. This is expected behaviour.
