Is it okay to ask how to host a minecraft server using linux or windows and having the community come up with a massive HOWTO?

I have begun one using a specific architecture (webmin and Ubuntu Linux) for another question but I feel that helping individuals get one started on a Vanilla linux or Vanilla windows server may benefit us greatly.

    I'd write it as a blog post if it'd be a massive how-to

  • Or even, as a question with an answer linking to said blog post . . .

    @3ventic Well Maybe getting something informative on it may be useful for traffic then.

  • I'd at least post a summary of the method as part of the answer, and not just link it to a blog post, if you're going to do something like that.
