Q. Hey, I'm already running a Minecraft server on a seperate ubuntu machine upstairs but now I want to run a bukkit server. I've seen the tuturial of putting the file in a folder and using shell to copy that code to run it, but how do I use shell. And secondly, how do I add plugins to a ubuntu bukkit server. Thanks.
A. Its really easy, all you have to do is drag the plugins .jar file into the "Plugins" folder. It will automatically install the plugin. To use the shell, double-click it.

What is the difference between minecraft on windows and mac os x?
Q. My school got new macs, and the teachers said we could use flash drives on the macs. So if i were to copy my.minecraft folder (from windows) on to my flash drive, and transfer them to the mac, and use magic launcher to select the .jar file, would it work?
A. Only if you have a mac version of Magic Launcher, since macs cant run exes. I dond know if theres a mac one, but on the magic launcher minecraftforums page there definatly is a
linux version (as a .jar) whick will work on any OS, including all mac OS and Windows OS.
What is the best desktop to run a minecraft server?
Q. I want to buy a desktop to run my minecraft server along with a website or two. I want about 10gb of ram. please put the price and the amount of ram. Thanks!
A. You should be more specific about the requirements. What kind of websites, how complicated? How much traffic do you expect? How many users on the Minecraft server?
Simple web sites can be hosted on just about anything, as long as it's suitable to the OS. I've hosted light web sites on as little as a Pentium 166. That only became a problem when linux got heavier over time and started needing too much RAM. Today I'd probably use a low end (~533-650MHz) Coppermine core P3, as they are very low on power consumption and can do the job fine (if it's just a lightly loaded site). They are nearly worthless 2nd hand, so they're cheap to get. 512MB, 1GB if the board allows it.
Sites with a complicated database and heavy traffic would have more need for disk I/O and more RAM. A modern system with 10GB is hugely overpowered though, unless these are high traffic sites. If you're running this on residential broadband, most likely the connection isn't fast enough to make use of a high powered server.
The Minecraft server might be more demanding than the web sites.
If the Minecraft server is just for a few people, you could do fine with a midrange or later P4 or Athlon 32-bit machine. 2GB RAM would be fine for a few users, but more is better. The requirements increase depending how many users you have. Minecraft server capacity depends more on RAM and upload bandwidth than the CPU.
A system like that would be cheap 2nd hand today. Or anything newer won't hurt, but point is, you don't need to spend on a new system unless you're running some heavy loads.
If it's a dedicated server and not being used to play the game as a client, then you don't need to worry about the video card. The server is only processing data, not rendering graphics.
