(yes, this is a server n00b question)

One potential host has Apache/1.3.33 (Debian GNU/Linux) server type…

And the other one has an Intel C2Q Q9300 Single Processor Quad Core.

Which one is better, if all else is equal?

This is just for running a personal site, btw. And I’m NOT BUYING A SERVER, I’m trying to choose between 2 hosts with the above mentioned servers.

Thanks in advance.

If I open doxbox with 600000 cycles, then my 3Ghz Intel Core2Duo cpu usage just jumps upto 100% on both cpu0 and cpu1. If I open system monitor from Gnome, then two processes named doxbox show up each with 43% cpu usage. Other programs run fine. What is the problem?
It is cpu cycles.

I tried to run Linux Mandriva on my Computer, but during the boot from the cd I get a message saying:
"Loop image not found, dropping you to a limited shell. Type a command" and then there is a list of commands, but no matter what command I type in, nothing happens.

I ran the cd on a virtual machine and it worked.
I have enough HardDrive space, 512MB RAM, 3.06GHz Intel processor.

I would also like to know what is the best version of Linux I can use instead of windows? I have the latest releases of Ubuntu and Kubuntu which installed and worked on my computer.

Thanks

I have a dell inspiron 6400/E1505 with Intel pro 3945 abg card.
I have tried linux suse 10.1 and Fedora 5.0 but it doesn’t work.

I found some procedures on google.com but they looked like for Linux-Pros!! I am just a beginer on Linux.

Can anyone help with step by steps? Or suggest which version of Linux is compatible with intel pro 3945 wireless card?

Which brands of wireless cards offer open source drivers for them?

I ASSUME Intel and Atheros do, while the others do not (Broadcom, Realtek, etc). Can anybody confirm this?
I know they don’t need to be open source for them to work, but I’m pretty sure Broadcom is closed source and not only that, they’re very piss poor quality. I’m sure if they were open source, community developers would jump on the code to improve on them. I’m just curious which companies ARE open source because I want to support them by buying their products instead of closed source companies.

Ok so i got everything right with this installation.
Everything boots right in perfect.
Im running Ubuntu Linux Fiesty Fawn 7.04 on Microsoft’s Virtual PC console.
I have a problem when i try to apply the
‘Desktop Effects’ i enable them and then poof my screen turns white i cannot see absolutely anything! After that Ubuntu automatically turns this feature off (about 5 sec)
This is the most important reason in why i was trying out Linux to make it my primary OS because of the work effeciency that you get for example using the cube effect.
THE LAST PROBLEM is:
I find that Linux runs pretty slow! i allocate 512 mb of ram to Microsoft Virtual PC and i notice that Windows XP and Ubuntu are not even close in speed!
Please note that:

Windows XP and Fiesty Fawn are running side by side and Linux is a lot slower than XP!!!!
My Computer Specs are:
Intel Pentium 4 3.20 ghz
1 GB DDR Ram
200 GB SATA internal Hard drive
250 GB Seagate external Hard drive
ATI Radeon X1550 PCI (not PCI-Express :[ )

I want to install the new Debian 5.0 release but I’m not sure which version is the one for my PC. I have an intel core 2 quad, so Im not sure if I should use the x386 release, which I understand is for 32 bit systems or the amd64 release, which also supports EM64T based Intel processors. Any help?

Funny you should mention, Ubuntu, I installed it first and it did the same thing, no wireless card is detected.
