Do any of you run Minecraft servers with only the terminal?

Not that complicated once you know how to use the terminal.

Gonna try it out tomorrow, to see how hard it really is.

Sure, where does the server saves it content? Where are the logs and where i can't define a configuration file?
When it's running out of the box it's fine. But it's a black-box and i may have to investigate this much more to get this knowledge.

It can also turn quickly to a jack on the Box....

Well if you need a GUI, you can FTP into the server with something like Filezilla. And the Minecraft server's folders are laid out the same as the Windows server's.

I never ran Minecraft server, but I hosted SAMP server from terminal too. It's actually easier than doing it from in-game (like on some Windows home-servers).

Uh? Confucius is confused ?

I thought you just said :

I generally run Minecraft/Bukkit on CentOS, and then use the screen command to make sure that it's running all the time.

Well, I set up a new CentOS VPS for my 13yr old son and gave him the ip and the root password.

About 10 minutes later he was connecting to it from his minecraft game

He downloaded putty, found a tutorial on setting up minecraft on CentOS.. I showed him how to use putty.. and it's currently running in a screen session on there.

I set up a server a month ago for my nephew. He had a 1 year old laptop that he had destroyed the screen on. I took it home and did a lot of research. I started with mineos and could not get the network card installed. I had the same problem with Debian. I found that the network card installed on the laptop had known problems and I found the apple USB network card worked well in Linux and it did not work with mineos but did with Debian so I went with Debian. I got that installed. My nephew wanted bukkit so I installed that. I use the command line most of the time but I installed webmin so my nephew could do some things if he wanted to. I set the server to only allow 5 users because it is on my home connection. I read that my uverse connection would not handle more than that.

All you really need to know is
Screen
Rm to renae files
Mv to move files
Unzip to unpack plugins
Wget to download updates
Cd to change directories
