seeing as it's impossible to get a windows version of ircu, and my disinterest in using unreal, are there any networks that are using any ircx server software?

undernet ircu with the ability to make it behave like quakenet's old ircd asuka ircu.

Maybe you'd have better luck installing andLinux and running the Linux version of your preferred ircu variant (in Windows). I haven't tried, but it could work in theory.

I originally planned on installing a freebsd virtual machine on my 2k8 box.. unfortunately I know jack-squat about freebsd/unix in general..

I started as a beginner using RedHat which seemed easy enough..

As far as the bircd question, I have experimented with it in the past, and it isn't a very stable ircd. It does happen to crash, but not near as much as claimed. I haven't really noticed a whole lot of bugs. If you're just looking for an irc server for you and a few friends, then go for the bircd. But if you're looking to have a 24/7 network with more than 10 users, you're going to want a linux ircd.

I ran unrealirc on windows server 2000 and the on server 2003 for 6 months from home before moving to shells and FreeBSD, How I did it was install both the same unrealircd/anope/neostats had one using 6660-6666 and the other using ports 6667-6669.and when I had to reboot for updates or any thing else, there was always a server live so they could connect too and port forward to the other server. If you just use the server for Ircd and almost nothing else it will run ok , all I had was apache/Perl bot/and unrealirc and it ran ok but we did not have more than 30 users. If you not going to use your windows like an every day box ,I can't see why you don't get 6 months run without rebooting(for major updates)I still run a windows server at home for my local website and radio station.
(Windows server 2003)
Server uptime: 64 days 1 hour 52 minutes 0 second
Reboot since: Thursday. July 24th, 2008. 12:18 pm
Learning about FreeBSD I got a book called "Building an INTERNET SERVER with FREEBSD6"
Helps you with most installs, printed in 2006, lucky I have a spare box to install and reinstall and break and spare time. There are loads of books because I am from the UK I get them in from U.S.A at half the price.

Tesx is an ircd based on ircx, its written in java so itll run on anything. I have a tes ircd up at mike.meganet.us. I must say its pretty sweet and easy to set up.

Linux is an english word meaning "FreeBSD is to hard for me"

Would any java coders be interested in picking up development of tesx ircd? Its ircx in java, and pretty sweet.
