thanks for the second link. I was about to go nuts because the CODE tag wasn't working properly on my recently installed board.

yag maybe you could try Ubuntu Linux, it's new distro which is based on debian i think. At this time they still on promotion so if you lucky maybe you'll get free CD from them.
I have actually.
So far, i've tested Mandrake, Suse, Ubuntu, DSL, RedHat, Mepis, Knoopix and something else Debian based (cant remember).

...
btw, the win server where I run apache and stuff is located at: http://subc.webhop.net
and the punbb forum I just installed: http://subc.homeip.net/punbb/
of course, i spent a long time reading and reading about servers under windows and linux, and the best solution is LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL and Php).
Eventually, i plan to move the server to a small distribution without GUI and all the junk that comes in the popular fatty distributions (such as mandrake, suse, etc). The ultimate goal is a 'barebones' Linux, with apache-mysql-php-perl-tomcat, with autoupdater program for dyndns (although, i think it requires a GUI).
For now, the win machine works just fine, specially since I dont have a lot of traffic yet. And since I wanted a really quiet server, I invested some bucks getting a mini-atx mobo with integrated 'fanless' CPU, and also got a small power supply for it (fanless too). And since the HD is from a laptop and is almost new, makes near zero noise.
If it wasn't for the LED, i wouldnt be able to tell if the server is on or off... heck! my DSL modem makes more noise than the server

Re: Make server using Debian Linux? (13 replies, posted in General discussion)
is it safe to run server for public with winXP?
it is safe, as long as you secure the server and run a decent firewall and stuff.
in my case, I have very specific settings for the server, for example:
+ Everything has to go through a router, and all ports are closed, except for port 80 for webserver (Apache).
+ I run Apache on the 80 port (standar), and opened that port on the router, only for the server machine IP.
+ Mysql and MyphpAdmin are only accesible from LAN and localhost (so there's no way to access them from outside my router). No need to open a port for MySQL.
+ I run a small ftp server too, so I can 'upload' my files from my other computer. since both machines are connected to the same router, I specify that the ftp server only allows connections from the LAN. no need to open port 21 on router.
+ I run Ultr@VNC server and client, to sometimes connect to or restart the server from my formal computer (the server only has a keyboard connected, no monitor nor mouse). Ultr@VNC is configured so it only accepts clients from LAN. No need to open ports on router.
the server machine has nothing installed, except for windows itself, Apache, MySQL, php4.3.11, the ftp server, the dynamic DNS updater, and firefox.
I unistalled windows messenger and disabled internet exploter.
according to the logs, the CPU barely reaches 3 or 5% when serving pages.
I use winXP only because i know whats going on on the background (21 services in total, including apache, mysql, ftp server and dyndns updater), where as with Linux, I have no idea how many packages are running without beign used.

i have my own server, but in winXP -> Apache, php, mysql.
as stable as it gets, running on a mini-atx mobo with 600MHz processor (fanless) with 256 ram, and a 40GB 9mm HD (laptop HD).
i tried Linux, but I was not convinced about the ideas of having to learn so many commands and deal with linux in general just to run my own server (i've been using many linux distributions before).

Re: CODE tag problem ? (4 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
I thought the issue was using PHP5, so I downgraded to PHP 4.3.11
no good... I still get the "The BBCode syntax in the message is incorrect. Missing end tag for [ code ]" message

Topic: CODE tag problem ? (4 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
Hi,
I installed the board on my own server and everything went smooth (very fast installation btw).
Anyway, as I was doing some further testing, i realized that everytime I tried to use the CODE bbcode in a post after I had written something else above, it just wouldn't work (see screenshot)
if I were to put the selected text below the code bbcode, everything works just fine.
Does that means that I can NOT use the CODE tags in the middle of a post?
