genuinely i wont recomment running any kind of server on your personal pc as it doesn't have an ssd so the servr will be kinda slow and as you read before its not designed to run 24/7 but anyways if you intend to use it to host your server I think linux slackware would be a good choice, it comes with most opimizations ready so you dont have to worry about that

If you want a larger server with more people, then no, but honestly for just a little world for you and your friends it works just fine. I've been doing it for a while.
Hey!
I have an old computer i would like to use to run a dedicated Minecraft server. The pc will do nothing but run the server.
I might have something like 5 players total.
Specs are:
CPU: AMD Athlon II X2 245
RAM: 4GB
HDD: 300gb 7200rpm
ISP: 200mbps down, 70 up.
What id like to know is, what is the optimal way to do this?
Linux would probably be my best bet im guessing, which distro should i use?
Are there anything i can do to optimize it?
Thanks for any and all help with these questions

I ll infect u kid
I'd be more worried about that ancient CPU than the HDD. HDD is easily fixed; SSDs are cheap.
I would recommend a CPU with at least a 3.0 GHz base-clock, Minecraft (including the server portion) is very single-core bound.
Just curious, that's all.
