Javawag's questions

Strange question here. I have a server with 1GB of RAM, however when booted this shows as 768MB. I've discovered the reason for it – and that is that it has an unboard graphics card which shares memory with main RAM. Running Ubuntu Server, it doesn't actually ever use anything graphical – it's all set up to be SSH'd into and therefore there's no need to use the VGA.

I believe there may be a setting to switch off VGA/graphics card in BIOS, but my question to you guys is:

1. is this recommended? and
2. if I turn it off, then how would I turn it back on again in BIOS (given that with it off, I wouldn't be able to see the option to turn it on as there would be no graphics output!!)?

I'm creating an iPhone app which is basically a breakout game, but you can create your own levels and upload/download stuff! It's working well... sort of.

My game uses a single account for whoever has it installed, and this connects to my FTP and downloads the level files. Problem is, I can't log in on two devices at once as my FTP server only supports 1 login at a time from my account.

So, my question is, is it technically possible to connect to an FTP from more than one location using the same account, simultaneously? If so, can anyone point me in the way of a cheap (or free, free is better!) host that can offer this?

Many thanks, - Javawag
