Dedicated Server for Linux
TheCannon187:
Dual boot is pretty easy, but Linux servers are more efficient.

What's the point in switching to another crappy system in the local area?
With a Linux dedicated server at a server hoster the lags would be gone, much higher possible bandwidth, better latencys, more players.
btw. I've got windows and linux on my pc running.
I'm able to fully play BLR with Wine, no real probs at all.
But the Performance is like a little gremlin screaming "stop it, that's just not right!".
There is really a native linux version of the dedicated server needed.
(And a native linux version of the client, but that's just out of question anyways :P)
Space Guy:
In playing Blockland with Linux (Ubuntu) and WINE, I find the performance is absolutely perfect for about 10 minutes, then bricks seem to stop loading, then you randomly crash. This may be just me, and I think it only happens on the 'client' so it should work okay. (Errors to do with rendering/colours/etc, not calculations of collision or variables)

A native app will always run better than one in an emulator. Plus, it would suck to rent a server and then ruin it by running a bunch of emulators in the overhead.
