Looking to setup a botting farm and wondering what distro some of you use? I'm very familiar with linux, running arch on my laptop, gentoo on my desktop and centos on my server. I have extra server space and thinking of setting up some bots. Also wondering, am I better off running a bunch of seperate VM's with 2-3 bots running in each or one VM with tons of bots, I have 40gb ram and 2x2680v2 xeons.

Do you think I'm better off running all the bots in one vm or having 10 different vms seperating all the bots making their hardware ids different?

I've always run Ubuntu 16.04 or CentOS 6. 

I would just run them all in the same VM instance unless you have the resources to burn, but I wouldn't expect it to make a huge difference for you

I prefer Ubuntu with xfce. Easy to use if you run more bots.

If possible, better to run more bots on a single server rather than splitting into VMs, as VMs eat away extra resource. Of course, management and launch times will suffer.

Ubuntu 18.04 + xfce4 

Ubuntu 16.04 I always got me problems with vnc
