A Discovery!!!!!!!!!
So today I talked with veteran FOSSboxer Qalthos, code wizard. Though he wasn't in the FOSSbox this week until today, he's been working on school server stuff as well. Previously, while I've been making a fool of myself, he set up a school server on a virtual machine on his laptop, only to have it be unpingable. Then he set one up on some virtual space on "the boat," an intense server watched over by Computer Science House. I had often confused this server with one we had in the FOSSbox called "the yacht," which houses our irc accounts, because after all, a yacht is a kind of boat. However, the boat sank, and by that I mean due to extreme heat and/or having to process a school server, the server "the boat" crashed, which I mentioned in my last week in review.
I asked him about how he did all of that, and it turns out he used the 0.7 version of the XS, which prompted me to go to the wiki about it. (If you want to go there, just click the previous link.) As you can see in the right of the page, there is a table, and on this table, there is a section for servers, the last stable version of which was the 0.7 version, not the XSCE 0.3 edition which is the latest unstable version. Upon seeing this I came to the conclusion that I had been using the wrong version all along. whether the other edition worked better or not was really up to how they define "stable." If it means "working" I should try it out myself, but if it means "able to support large weights, like that of an elephant" then I have no idea what is going on. Regardless I'll install it and try it out tomorrow.
