Hi all! I have a Virtual Private Server hosted by GoDaddy. It's pretty cheap, and it's not that bad at all really. It runs Red Hat Fedora Core 7, and has: 10GB space 500GB Bandwidth 256mb ram (1GB Bursted) Assume for a second that i'll be looking to run a blog from it, so nothing too heavy, although there will be a database obviously. Will it survive getting dugg? Or will it die painfully and quickly? How much can I expect from this Virtual Server before it dies? 100 views at any one time? 500? 1,000? 10,000 a week? I have no idea at what point servers can no longer handle the strain before the page stops loading for visitors, so i'd be grateful for your opinions on this. Ideally, i'm looking to start a blog that i'm hoping will get a fair amount of traffic in time, and i'm wondering whether my Virtual Server will suit that, or whether it will only survive say, 10,000 hits a day before it either crawls or dies etc.. Any opinions on this would be most welcome

Thanks

Thanks, but I cannot find the thread

Hi all! Quick question! I am looking to use nlite to integrate SP3 into XP Pro SP2 from a Windows Vista Ultimate 32 bit computer. Is nlite now 100% working from Windows Vista? Or do I need to right click, and select the XP SP2 compatibility settings for nlite? Thanks!

You can't go from XP RTM (no service pack) ---->SP3 You need to first integrate SP1 or SP2 first, and then integrate SP3 after.

Did you run nlite from vista?

Really? That's very helpful if it's true? Is it definate that nlite uses microsoft's /integrate method to slipstream service packs?

Thanks for the reply! Although i've read somewhere that nlite won't delete duplicate files, but microsofts method will? Is there any truth to this? Or does nlite actually use the /integrate command, and thus do exactly the same thing as microsoft's manual method?

Do you have the latest graphics drivers? That is mostly cause bsod i think???

Hey! I'm looking to update my Windows XP Professional SP2 CD to include SP3. Now, the two methods i'm aware of are nlite, and the manual method such as the one Paul Thurrott is advocating here: http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/xpsp3_slipstream.asp Apologies if this is a stupid question, but what's the difference? Is there a difference? using nlite seems the most simplest solution, but i'm worried that there will be an increased chance of creating a "bad CD", where everything appears to work, yet windows is a little bit more unstable as a result, with more bsod's etc... So, which is best? Is nlite safe to use to slipstream sp3, or should I do it manually to avoid all problems? Thanks for the help!

I have a Windows XP Pro SP2 install that runs excellently. No problems whatsoever, and it's quick. I haven't updated beyond SP2 at all though. I usually go from service pack to service pack for both maximum stability and compatability. The good thing is that I have totally avoided WGA and OGA in my Office 2003 too. I value my privacy and stability, and given the trouble with that i'm glad to give it a massive miss. My question is whether I need SP3? Have all of you installed it, or have some of you held back? The fact that it contains WGA is a massive minus for me, because I don't trust it, particularly not to lock me out of my own PC the next time there is a problem at MS. I am also worried about compatibility. Is newer software going to require SP3, and this leave me out in the cold with SP2? I'm just generally interested in your opinions Thanks

Any other opinions?

Can nlite run from Vista without problems? Are any of you nliting XP cd's from Vista without problems? I'm planning on nliting a windows xp pro sp2 CD to include some drivers and sp3, but I don't have a windows xp install to do it from, just a Vista install. Will all that work fine, or can I expect some known quirks/bugs in the resulting cd, or for it not to work at all? Thanks!

Any more thoughts?

Just checking, but I have an XP SP2 CD, and i'd like to slipstream XP SP3 into it from my Vista PC. Will the latest version of nLite (1.4.5) do this without problems now, or does everything appear to work, but there are stability problems or something? I was wondering what your experiences are, because i'm going to use the nLited CD I make for a mission critical system, so i'd very much appreciate the heads up if using nLite to slipstream XP SP3 on a Vista PC causes any "niggles" that I should be aware of. Thankyou
