MineCraft forge on linux??

[Xyphoris]

Hello,

 

I currently am running forge and plan on setting up a server on my windows 7 pc. I was considering switching to linux though since it isnt as much of a resource hog. Does anyone run forge and a server on linux?? How does it work?? buggy at all?

 

Also, do you think linux would be more secure of a server than the windows 7?

I have run forge and it works as expected. Server seems to work but I have not tested thoroughly.

What version do you use? I was looking at ubuntu server.

*Generally speaking - linux is simply better for almost any kind of server stuff.

 

*Question is - are you talking about professional server of just "I am wondering if I can get 5% better results if I use Linux..."

*If you are just looking to have some local server (up to dozen, maybe more ppl) there is not really any specific recommendation.

 

*If you want so for eg. start server network - then yes, Linux has Apache, SSH, allows to make very useful tunnnels, is (I think) better when it comes to CMD and most importantly - everything for Linux is free, when for Windows you would soon find out that there is a lot of licensed stuff if you want to run good programs - but that ONLY if you are planning on doing professinal stuff (global).

 

*As for more technical stuff - Linux uses less resources and runs faster in most cases (depends), because of it's quite clear structure.

 

*Best? Either Debian or Ubuntu - that can ONLY depend on you and your skills/preferences.

I was, am and probably will use Debian-Wheezy for all my dedics until I eventually stop working with server, thats because I've been using it for years.

What are the differences?

Debian compared to Ubuntu - faster and reliable (uncrashable, probably at all - years of dev, I never crashed Debian in like... 6 years), better support, more tutorials, less programms, but thye are still mostly shared between two, also it's less friendly to new users.

 

*Does anyone run forge and a server on linux?

6 servers, in elder times about 15 ;p

It's way better if you alredy have experience (in using its CMD), but if you are new - windows could be better with it's every-day-UI-screen (you can literally do stuff on shared screen - that is if it's not on your computer but dedic)

 

*How does it work?? buggy at all?

Best OS to maintain any larger than local server. Never buggy, always fast, no anomalies.

 

*Yes, Linux is more secure if you know HOW to make it secure. All systems are still DDoS-able, but certainly Linux is harder to pawn with normal viruses and stuff (everything requires human-only input, so nothing you don't want can't really do anything to you)

Is ubuntu server only command line? If I want to run a small server, do mod development and sometimes play and test mods, would regular ubuntu be better?
