Does the gui need lots of memory? Or should i only work with the console? Hi Raijin, If you are okay with using the console/SSH, stick with it. GUI does require more resources.

Otherwise Debian would be ok, too. In both cases you should use the 64 bit version, because it is usually built to support some special features of 64 bit CPUs.

I honestly, can not recommend 64bit over 32bit; since running an emulator requires ~350mb of RAM. 64bit processes usually require more RAM to run, and you don't even need 2GB of RAM to support 500+ players. So unless you're intending to run a huge server with more than 1k users; then go for 64bit, otherwise I'd recommend 32bit. Debian as an OS; requires less RAM since it's real barebone. CentOS is like a free version of RHEL; which is an enterprise-grade OS (not free, and not cheap at all), and it has basically almost everything that RHEL has. Extra Note - Slackware is like Ubuntu... can't recommend it. It install unnecessary things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Slackware's minimal installation takes up about 50-100 MB. It also isn't like other systems, if any, other systems are like Slackware as it is the oldest distribution which is still maintained. It is built to be as UNIX-like as possible, also using the KISS principle. There's a general "rule" for Slackware and Ubuntu: Ubuntu just Works, Slackware makes you work.

Hi DeadlySilence, Well if we're talking about absolute minimums; then wouldn't be Debian/CentOS be the smarter choice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
