Helpful, but dry. If anyone is looking into starting a server, which I have, dont use windows server. Not only do you have to pay for the software, you have to pay more many add-ons too. In order to save RAM, Im thinking of running linux on my server. Not only is it free, the RAM useage is so much less than normal windows(2.0GB) Linux(0.5GB)
