How to control the excessive use of ram by SQL Server?

Minecra Server, What OS?

Hello, recently I got a Linux VPS to host a minecraft server. I now have to choose between what distro to use. The distros I am allowed to use are following: CentOS 5 with Parallels Plesk Panel 10 (64-bit) CentOS 5 with Parallels SB Panel 10 (64-bit) ubuntu 10.04 LTS minimal system (64-bit) Debian 5 (Lenny) minimal system (64-bit) openSUSE 11.3 minimal system (64-bit) openSUSE 11.3 with Parallels Plesk Panel 10 (64-bit) CentOS 5 minimal system (64-bit) All of these come with NO desktop/gui just command line, I am REALLY new to bash so if possible could please post on how to install GNOME and VNC because I have to control it from my computer. If not just the OS is fine. I have 16GB or ram available to me, I am not sure what the clock of my cpu is but I do know it 8 cores. I know minecraft can only use 1 core is it the same for the server? If so are the rest 7 cores useless>
Answer:

The overhead of running gnome and vnc outweigh the learning curve of bash. Considering you just have to make sure you have java installed and then run the minecraft using MPI to use the multiple cores.

Run Debian. You don't need to run a desktop environment to run a Minecraft server. Just follow these instructions to set it up on Debian (or any other Linux system for that matter): http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Tutorials/Setting_up_a_server#Linux_Instructions
