what are the best os for dedicated server game like batlefied or
cs

doesn't Battefield only runs on Win32 and it's on Beta for linux?

For CS, CentOS or Debian

Im gonna have to disagree with you Francisco, from what I have seen CS runs better on Windows.

CS = WIN2003

Well, I used to have a CS Server on my crappy PII 233Mhz w 128Mb of ram, lol... It ran faster (ping wize) on Linux :stickout: On windows there where some strange Pings strikes... and that was on the local network

I have noticed that bf1942 runs a bit better on win32 than linux, running the same hardware. But, that has probably been fixed since I ran tests, which was around when the game was released. (Even the win32 dedicated server ran bad)

BF linux is still beta if I remember correctly. Ran rather poorly on a FreeBSD machine I had up :(

Unless you have a high end dedicated server (ie Dual Xeon), I would recommend Fedora or Debian over any Windows OS.

CS used to run better on Linux, but STEAM was horrible the first few revisions. Although it's okay now, I understand the Windows version is still better. For Battlefield, Windows will work better -- the Linux port is a decisive runner up on their priority list.

thanks a lot

CS working well on my Fedora Core 1 install.
