I'm a newbi mud coder with a moderate background in c++ so i can get around in coding without much hassle. I'm still learning and am picking things up quite rapidly as I stare at it blankly for hours on end. My biggest problem is getting over the linux/windows barrier. I went out and got linux instead of investing in MSVC because it was cheaper. =) Also, I'm planning on buying a new computer and make it dedicated to a linux server. My current platform is partitioned between linux and win98. I have two questions. First, I am attempting to add a few snippets, including OLC but I am quite unfamiliar with the patch command. Please, any hints would help me a great deal including which directory the file should be in and which directory i should be in. My second question, which doesn't apply to my current position but soon to be, is how do I create a linux server? Once i get the OS up and running, how do I find an internet provider, dsl server, whatever to give me rights to my domain name I'm going to regester? once again, anything would be greatly appreciated, even a site or service to go read about. thanks. -Bob +------------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~fletchra/Circle/list-faq.html | +------------------------------------------------------------+
