Only way to KNOW if it helps with lag etc... is to try it.

I did try that and it seemed even worse then running both the world and zones on the same PC. And for the record, the other PC I tried using as just a zone server is about double the stats of the server PC I have been running on and it was still unstable being only a zone server. I wish there was a way to share the load.
I am trying to get a debian install of eqemu running, but mainly to see if it can help my resources and stability issues without having to do anything else. I have it almost ready to go accept for some reason it seems like the NPCs are hovering above the ground and it is hard to move around. I didn't get any errors when loading the world the last time I tried it so far. But I am definitely a novice with this setup. I don't even know if there is a way to watch the real time log entries echoed to the console similar to how it works on windows. The only thing that concerns me so far about the build is that I did get alot of warnings when I was compiling the eqemu source, but I didn't see any errors. I will leave those questions for another thread though, as I don't want to throw off the purpose of this one.
