What's up with Windows XP that makes it so, let's say crappy? I have Abyss setup up on Ubuntu and Xp on a dual boot system. When I boot into XP, sometimes my server takes a while to load pages and then sometimes not at all. Like a few minutes ago, I was in XP and I went to log into my forum and check the stats and it took about a minute for my pages to show. But since I installed Ubuntu and have Abyss running on it, I have had none of the problems like in XP. At first, I thought it might of been some problem with my dns servers or the host I have my domain registered through which is forwarded to my home server. But it's not, it seems to be within XP that's mucking up stuff. Anyone know what's up? I don't have firewall program installed (or XP firewall enabled), it's done through my router and the only other thing running is my anti-virus.

There will be an explanation for it but I can safely say that XP is not "crappy" as you describe as I have run a server for nearly 3 years on XP without a problem.

Ken,

You might try hitting Ctrl+Alt+Del to see which processes are running. When you're trying to access a script, see if PHP is giving you trouble, based on how long it stays listed as a running process.

My server's been on XP for almost six months, and nary a hitch! In fact, it's been on for 21 days straight now and working perfectly.

I just switched mine to a new install of XP as well since I got a new computer. Now my fairly awesome old computer is my server (see signature). I'm just now setting it up though.
