Server help

[gahhruuba]

First off... I'd like to apologize if this is the wrong section.

So I have a home server setup at my place with:

Quad core 3.8ghz AMD CPU

16 Gigs 1600 RAM

Servers setup on ramDisk

100mbps download and 10mbps upload

I am running 5 seperate servers (Big Dig, Tekkit Classic, tekkit lite, Voltz, and Vanila) on this one computer.

I am playing minecraft on a different computer. Expected to be about 16 people on the server.

I am looking for info on:

• What can I do to optimize the chunk loading time / lag
  
• Recommended Mods
  
• Are all of them compatible with 1.5.1
  
• Is linux worth installing instead of running them on Windows 7 RAM Disk
