Windows Server 2008 I think is out of the question, there's no need to spend that much on an OS just to run a Blockland server (that is if OP is solely hosting a BL server). Id say go with Linux right now. CentOS is VERY secure out of the box, however they have older versions of programs/packages (more stable though) and to add wine on CentOS you need to either add a repository RPMForge or the Fedora Extras repository. If that bothers you pick another distro such as Debian 7. It has Wine in the repositories already. Debian 7 isn't as secure out of the box but you can always set up more security on it, the same with any linux distro. |

Windows Server 2008 is very stable, RTBs NY01 node is running at about 220 days uptime with no issues at all, surprised me really. |

(Not being sarcastic, I read this over and was like...I sound like a douche lol) See that's one of the things I never understand when people say how like Windows Server 2008 isn't stable or crashes a lot or like why Linux is used in datacenters or something because for some reason they are more "stable", is this all just a lie like how macs are better for 3d programs and designing and crap? |
