Thinking to myself... "What does it take to run a games like lotgd?" I googled "lotgd" and found it on source forge, after a little reading. I found the game on this website http://lotgd.net it's the site where the developer has his game running. The game uses Apache, PHP, and MySQL, it will run on Linux or Windows. With that little bit of information I have everything it takes to run the game ( I down loaded the files ), with little help, well maybe a lot of help I can host the game. Off topic; OMG! my son (9) is starting Clarinet lessons, the dogs in the hood will be going insane! It's to late for me so I pity the dogs... I have some concerns... My concerns are bandwidth and disk use. *Down Side...* I have a windows box http://www.screechowl.org/html/cpu.htm with about 10 gig of free diskspace running Apache, PhP, and MySQL I know that is as evil as it gets but I haven't had the time to convert my windows box to Linux. I have several gig of data and applications I can't live without. If I had a computer in the house my wife could use for work stuff I would convert it in a minute, but I don't. *Up Side* I have a Linux box with about 2 gig of free diskspace running Apache, PhP and MySQL BUT! I have another project I just started, it's in the first stage of becoming a real deal but I think it will fly. My website http://www.screechowl.org has more information on the project and a link to the Linux box (above) with the default Debian GNU Linux webpage. The linux box is where the project site will live. I'm sure some of the people involved with the project would play. *scary Side!* Take a look at my website... http://www.screechowl.org Now if you look in the index of "The Silmarillion" by: J.R.R. Tolkien you will find something interesting about the name I chose for the server. If you you don't have "The Silmarillion" (who wouldn't have it) Google the name listed in the text you may find something interesting. Like this website http://www.thetolkienwiki.org/wiki.cgi?Ancalagon It gets better, my little 486 laptop is named angband, and my windows server is named angrenost. Can you say "Karma"? Sam.
