If you aren't going to use the UI I wouldn't really recommend mint. For such purposes I'd just use ubuntu or debian for that matter. After all most packages on a mint box are actually ubuntu packages from an ubuntu repo. You'll save disk, CPU, and ram avoiding running a full UI, xserver, widgets, dbus, etc. With all of that said, you could just configure mint to not run a login manager/X11, then ssh in and run screen. Inside screen: $ java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.jar nogui That way you can watch the logs and can still issue commands to kick, ban, start, stop, change modes, etc. ___ vox-tech mailing list vox-tech@lists.lugod.org http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
