Hey guys, good morning, afternoon, evening or night (depnding on where you live)
I am looking at hosting an IRC server for my class to use for our discussions and learn some things about servers and networking. I have the box that I plan to use for this all ready to go however Ive never set up a server of any kind before so I am looking for some advice.
The parts in this machiene are as follows
Intel Core i7 950
gigabyte x58
6 gb ram
some graphics card i got off a recycling depot (idk what it is tbh)
it is what ive got though, It used to be my personal desktop and I recently upgraded to skylake 6600k, and I wanted to have a chat server. I realise that the hardware for this application is overkill. Thanks for the advice!
