All of the servers are NOW running on Linux, and with much less rejects, too. The only instability has been my putty sessions disconnecting... fixed it. Anyone know how to detach a session with putty, please let me know... I have been a widows guy until Android, Open Source, Win8, and MSNBC made me reconsider...

Use screen. Start a screen session with the command "screen". Use "screen -r" to reconnect or "screen -x" to join a screen that's already connected - I just use "screen -x" even if I'm not already connected. You don't have to detach for the session to stay active if the connection breaks, just ssh in and reattach. If you want to detach manually use "Ctrl-A D".
