Well, I decided to make a server and because I am cheap, I'm doing so at home, on one of these: http://www.laptopmag.com/review/laptops/alienware-m18x-r2.aspx

Some of the more relevant host specs:

Intel® Core™ i7-3840QM CPU @ 2.80GHz × 8

31.4 GiB Working Memory

Ubuntu 12.04

Net:

1Mb/s Upload

15Mb/s Download

Address: IPv4: DHCP (75.191.153.97:25565 at the time of writing, but may change if the router is reset, so it may be wise to check in with me on Skype before trying to join)

Server:

Bukkit 1.6.4 LRR themed (as much as practical) Hybrid Survival

More Player Models 2 (because I use it)

WarpCore (to make the man telporters work and allow players to teleport out when their "shield" gets too low)

Whitelist (todo: set up the system to allow everyone to change gamemode) THIS SERVER IS WHITELISTED! Let me know via skype if you want to join.

mobGriefing: False

keepInventory: True

Players: 7

Rules:

Xray TP's are your Geoscanner: Use them to plan underground structures, exploring dark places, debuging and anywhere else you judge them to be useful.

Avoid creative unless it is absolutely needed for building an RRHQ or going a long distances in the overworld.

Raiding other people's chests and PVP get us no where, this is technically a Co-op server. we work to do what Rock Raiders do, except in a more intelligent manner

You must have pants (built into the skin or in the form of armor) on at all times.

Tools and tool upgrades (if I can get them working) will be provided by a command block based Tool Store

Do not throw away or otherwise lose blocks. We may need them for a project (I have actually found myself cave diving for dirt before because a project needed so much of it)! This means keeping a very close eye on your inventory.

No explosives. They are too destructive (when rigged incorrectly) and lossy (always).

No putting holes where they don't belong.

If you see me do it, it is likely an exception to the rules. I may have forgotten some rules as well.

Notes:

There is a webserver hosted on the same machine.

Since I use this machine for other things, the server will have a pretty poor uptime. I hope to someday get a dedicated machine for hosting to resolve this. I also hope to get a steady source of income to allow more onto the server via more bandwidth.

I think that is all.

PS: I'm much better behaved when I have something productive to do. Go figure.
