Best Linux OS & How many servers?

[fqdn]

you can use mtrg or hotsanic, the latter will show cpu usage, disk, bandwidth, all kinds of other stuff if you want. cricket is a good one too.

kk will try tnx

[jameshaigh]

iftop is good. You can leave it running through screen, too.

[dejv]

whats the command to run it ? after typing ./configure && make

[Muppet]

Code:

sudo iftop

Another one i like, similar to iftop, is 'iptraf'.

[jameshaigh]

iptraf looks nice. I'll install it and see how it goes.


Sure is ugly though

Any ideas about operating systems - which one will give me the best performance?
EDIT: I'm going to stick with Debian Stable

Gentoo will give you the best performance for a Game Server, but I use Ubuntu instead of Debian. I would use Slackware but i am not that Hardcore or FreeBSD - I have tried and they run great but updating/building takes to much time.

So gentoo is actually the best, ubuntu is preferred over debian but you actually want to use slackware.

Why are you using ubuntu which is better than debian if you actually want to use slackware but in the end gentoo is better?
dude you lost me!
