RUO for Unix\Linux\FreeBSD\Solaris? - RunUO

12-02-2002, 02:28 PM

Will that be supported?

Or at least Unix or FreeBSD?

... There are many reasons, such as:
- Windows's performance sux compared to them...
- All of those are extremely suitable for running servers...
- You need a license to run an illegal commercial shard if u do it under windows.
- Most good servers where people'd be able to install RUO run under linux or unix...

What do u think? Or does .NET not support linux\unix?

.NET does NOT natively support linux\unix.

Issue 1: - Windows's performance sux compared to them...

The fact of the matter is that this performance gain is negligible and in fact, it down right doesn’t even matter. Your RunUO shard, should be the ONLY thing running on your server, and if that’s the case OS overhead wont matter. If your running other things, that’s your problem not ours. All of the *nix variants are great for MULTITASKING, and do so much better than Windows does, however as I said, if your running multiple tasks on your RunUO server then that’s your choice, we don’t suggest it.

Issue 2: - All of those are extremely suitable for running servers...

So is Windows... in an APPLICATION server mode such as this, you have no need for the benifits of a multi tasking operating system such as *nix

Issue 3: - You need a license to run an illegal commercial shard if u do it under windows.

You cannot run a commercial shard period end of story. Commercial is defined as you make profit from, and this is illegal. You do need a license to run the Operating system, you need a license for every operating system, including all of the *nix variants, some just cost more than others.

Issue 4: - Most good servers where people'd be able to install RUO run under linux or unix...

If your defining this as a colocated server or what have you talk to your host. If you provide them with a Windows 2000 License the odds are good they will switch the server to windows for you with a nominal charge. If they wont, your host sucks, get a new host.

My personal thoughts on this issue, is that I love Linux and it has its place, but for this application it is not worth the effort to port it to support Linux. Once the MONO team gets their project ( http://www.go-mono.com ) up to speed I am more than willing to look at making RunUO MONO compliant, but until then... Windows it is!

Go Ryan ! heh.

I was about to start answering stuff before I realised that you'd already done it all :>

Ryan thank you. *Waiting for Mono*

Microsoft's vision for the .Net framework is that it will be implemented for *nix, Mac, and others. In theroy (at least in the perfect Microsoft world) once .Net is implemented in another OS; RunUO, or any app built on the .Net framework, should in turn run on that platform.

Of course, that's what Java was supposed to bring us too...

I own 2 MAC's and they both kick the piss out of either of my PC's.

So, now that I am a loser, I will tell you this.

#1 your avatar is stupid, and you will no longer be allowed to use them
#2 you show absolute idiocy in your comments regarding the MAC platform
#3 you show incomptency by saying he said the most "obvious things" when in reality all he did was state the facts, that are the goals of .NET.

I tire of your attitude Richard, and if you want to be a member of this community, loose the chip on your shoulder.

Well said Ryan!

Good to know that it is'nt just me that have tired on Richard's arrogance on theese forums. He bitch at almost every post he replies to, unless it is his own post, then he bitch if no one replies and praise him for his hard work.

PerfectWing · 12-04-2002, 12:08 PM

Don't feel bad Ryan, I'm an idiot for owning a Gamecube. Well to this guy anyway.

12-04-2002, 01:45 PM

Sorry If I offended u in any way but what I meant is that u shouldn't use MAC to run RUO, or any kind of server, since it will die in flaming death...

BTW, my avatar is not stupid - it ownz.

Allmight · 12-04-2002, 03:43 PM

No, that is'nt what you meant. Read your own post and you will reallise there is no chance in hell you meant something else. That post clearly states what you ment.

12-04-2002, 06:15 PM

U'r right I did... And I am sorry for that. What else should I do to make u feel better? Beg on my knees? Fat chance.

Allmight · 12-04-2002, 08:46 PM

Eh, never said you should. Just play your cards right from the start and try to be a bit nicer on theese forums. We are all here to have fun and the fact we love RunUO and UO. No need to flame others if you don't like what they do, just keep it to yourself and everyone will be happy.

12-05-2002, 12:09 AM

I don't love UO, I don't hate it. Same with RUO... I do RUO cuz I enjoy doing C#

Gustavo · 12-05-2002, 12:26 AM

Ever talked with a wall? try it, its fun.
you can even insult it and no reply!...

Gustavo.
