The server version has extra hardening against attacks, such as grsecurity and a few other things. The non-server does not have these extra hardening, it's more of a "standard" Linux distro. Basically if you're going to expose Devil-Linux directly to the internet, such as a firewall or a web server or DNS server, you're a little safer running the non-server version. If you're running DL as an internal server behind a firewall (i.e. Samba), not exposed directly to the internet, then the server version might run better for you. That's because grsecurity sometimes mistakes high resource using server processes as some kind of attack and kills them. If you're running server processes on the non-server version that start dying for unknown reasons, switch to the server version and see if that fixes your problems. And it's never a good idea to run internal servers on your internet firewall, hence the two distinct versions of Devil-Linux. - BS |
