[Help] Minecraft Server

So I'm wanting to make a Minecraft server since all my friends are really interested in it.
What exactly do I need and all? I saw that there is a pre-alpha and classical server types, which one will I need for Windows?

I looked at this tutorial : http://forum.ragezone.com/f628/guide...indows-699328/ shows me how to set up a server, but is there a client and what do I need to do to set it up?

Thanks for the help. I'm new to this section :P

The difference between a Classic Server and an Alpha/Beta Server is that Classic server is old school and it's a free build only. Theres no mining involved. No Ladders, Torches, Utilities, minecarts or tracks. Nothing really(Not even mobs or health hearts). The only thing you have to work with in classic, is color blocks, and all the other basic blocks.

Classic is basically for people who wanna play for free, but wont have like 75% of the features.

Alpha/Beta, Has all the blocks, all the tools, all the ladders/torches, Mining involved, There are Mobs and Health Hearts etc. You'll have 100% of the features.

There are many ways to get only your friends to join the server you host. My favorite way is through Hamachi, personally because the only people that can play are the people that connect to your network. So it makes the game extremely private to you and your friends.

Add me on MSN, i'll link you on the things you will need.

One big problem i have noticed on the MC servers is the RAM it is taking up, BUT that is obviously because it's in BETA stages at the moment.

Yup, Once the full game comes out it should run way more smoother than what it is. Especially with all the ram it takes up.
