Awesome! I figured the rules tables were doing something weird. Glad you got that straightened out. And, maybe I need to add something about restating the PC or restarting mysql at least after editing the my.cnf file in the wiki. Glad the reboot worked for you as well.
It sounds like you have everything running perfectly now other than the kernel upgrade. The kernels I suggested on there probably don't work for all PCs. I just put the most common 2 for Intel or AMD CPUs. You can always experiment with others to see if they work or not. I don't think it will hurt anything. You just use the "apt-cache search kernel | grep AMD" command if you are looking for AMD kernels. There are quite a few different ones, but I suggest you can try using the one that is the closest match to your CPU, as long as you don't use a 64bit one. The only reason I say not to use the 64 bit one is because some programs don't work on it. The server would still work fine, but for example, the "Shell in a Box" add-on tool for Webmin doesn't work on 64 bit and that is one of my favorite Webmin tools.
Once you are able to get your PC running on the kernel you want, you can always re-arrange your boot order by going to the Webmin tool and going to Hardware then to Grub Boot Loader and removing ones that don't work or change the order of what boots first and stuff. You don't have to boot it very often, so it isn't a big deal really, but I just like my PC to be as perfect as possible lol. Just make sure you don't remove the ones with "Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.18-6-486" in them, as those are the default ones and you might need them if something else goes wrong. The kernel that I currently use is Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.18-6-k7 and it works great. I thought the one I put in the wiki (should be the same one I am using) should work for most AMDs. I know this is probably a stupid question, but are you sure you don't have an Intel CPU in that PC? I build so many PCs that it is hard to keep track of the parts in all of them, and while most are AMD, I do have an Intel in there somewhere lol.
I run all of my zones dynamically and have no issues with it. Though I have considered adding a few statics just to keep a couple of zones from resetting when they are empty (mainly if a raid wipes).
And ya, I get those name filter errors as well when new characters are created. I don't know why that is the only thing that actually does scroll after the server is started lol. I am sure it isn't an issue at all and not much need for it unless you want to set a filter for names, which might not be bad if you have a strict naming policy or just don't want certain words in names. I had to delete a character tonight cause his name was so bad, and a name filter would definitely have stopped it. I wouldn't mind having another table for it, but I don't know what the table would be setup like. I have just been ignoring those errors.
Now that you have all of that stuff setup, there is only 1 more thing to setup, but it isn't exactly critical. The last thing you would want to get setup is file sharing between windows and Linux. I vaguely described how to do it in the wiki, but it can sometimes be a little rough to get setup. But, once it is setup, you will have 100% control over your server from your Windows PC. The quest editor won't work without the file sharing. If you have issues getting it working, just let me know and I will help if I can.
Oh, and Welcome to Linux! I think you find that it was well worth the work. And, if you ever do another install, the second time around is considerably easier lol.
