Thanks again for all the help guys. This is really making me think about swapping out the old PII mb that I'm using for a server router ATM & put in that 1G Athlon, finding some cheap(hah!) PC133 memory and some more EIDE drives and getting a little more adventurous with this...
(I really don't like running it on my main x86 desktop, but I've not got much of a choice ATM. The PII is actually running a coppermine celeron @ 500M w/c. 164M RAM and an itty bitty 12G or so drive plus Ubuntu server 6.10... but If I can put all the pieces together, I should be able to swap that drive, add another and have fun... might even try getting it to work with postgresql, but I'll have to see what the diffs in the perl modules are like...)
On an entirely unrelated note, I never really realized how much Minions of Mirth was like the old Everquest after not having played EQ for 6 or 7y... I also never really realized just how database driven these games were until I browsed through the MoM stuff, then had it hammered home by eqemu setup and operation.
EQ's graphics haven't aged gracefully though, but I hope when the live version gets packed up for good, that somebody releases an official server or the means to allow the emulators to 100% impersonate them... of course knowing the parent company, I think that freezing and hell come to mind...
