Which Linux/unix to use for HLDS
July 25th, 2016
Which distribtuion of linux should 1 use for hosting half life dedicated servers
i.e counter strike 1.6
Thnxx in advance
Windows is for games, Linux is for everything else
which ever linux distribution you are most comfortable with
people say good things about centos. but if you want no-hassle then go with ubuntu server
I run Fedora GNU/Linux set up as a server and have little problems with it. As a primary Desktop I use OpenSUSE11.3 (still got a few bugs) set up as a HTTP server. I would recommend Fedora for games. As mentioned it’s which ever you like most.
i think cent os is the best. i still hanvt used ubuntu…dont trust it
with red hat…you have to buy it….i dont like to use piracy in linux lol.
also you get more support with centos from forums etc.
i run mine on slackware64 14.0
