Keeping the two separate is also nice so I don't have to worry about one causing issues on the other. Some might think it's a waste of resources, but I need everything having an Ubuntu server provides, but also love the ease of MineOS (THANKS Will!!!). If you care to hear how I run things, I have a decently beefy server with VMware ESXi 4 installed on it with a virtual machine for Ubuntu which does most of my server-related tasks, then a separate VM dedicated to MineOS. Or there's always the option of setting up a virtual with MineOS on it.

You'll also be able to still host Minecraft, and Will's interface with scripts (you may need to tinker a bit to find everything you'll need to grab, I haven't seen a tutorial on integrating Will's stuff into a different OS. It makes it easy to add more capabilities, and you'll have a lot of help ala tutorials, forums, etc. If on the other hand you do plan to do more with your server, put Ubuntu on there for sure. If in the future however you decide to expand your server's abilities outside of Minecraft while doable it may be more difficult and you'll find less community assistance. If you only plan on ever hosting Minecraft, then definitely just put MineOS on there and leave it at that. My personal recommendation would vary depending on how much you plan on doing with your server.

i just wanna know what route would be the smartest.pros/cons, no diff, what? Someone help me out here

I can either install MineOS or just run ubuntu server 10.10. the machine i purchased (server) is gonna arrive on tuesday. Quote from willystylee »I cant decide if i should go with MineOS.
