Default New guy with questions (not 1017 related)

Hey! /me waves!

Just learned about this project, and I'm stoked about all the great work going on here! I can't wait to get a server fired up. Because of the patch issue, I can't get log into even my own server just yet, but that's cool, I have patience!

What I am wanting to know:

1. how many zones can a typical server manage? How many did previous versions of the EQEmu server host? I know it's directly related to what hardware the server has, but let's say a server with a P3 1GHz processor and 1Gig of RAM... What expectations should I have for a server like that? 10 zones? or closer to 100?

2. I have a server installed, and I can't log in to check it, but how do I know what zones to load, and where do I get the zones? I follow the 0.5.0 instructions and except for a couple minor things going on, I seems to be running. But I only have the default settings from the directions. Are there written instructions on how to statically assign zones on startup?

Anyhoo, excuse a newbie for asking, but any valuable pointers would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, Aescleal
