[cod] Disapointed

[James Kreuziger]

Actually, I don't think you are server noobs.  I'm just pointing
out what I'm running it on. My best guess is that you do have too 
much turned on from your default install of Linux.  If I could get 
my floppy drive to work, I'd install FreeBSD on the below mentioned 
box and run cod_lnxded on the Linux compatability layer.  FreeBSD has 
virtually no services turned on at the initial install.  Makes it a
bunch 
easier to secure, IMHO.

Windows makes it quite easy to run stuff.  However, that can lead to 
a whole different set of problems.

I take it you think we are server newbies? :)
I know maydays server is fast. My own server is a P4 2.4Ghz, 30Gb hdd,
1024Mb pc2100 ram and a geforce 3. So I hardly think you can compare
your system to that? ;)

With a system like this, it SHOULD work. :/
