In actual response to the original question, Ubuntu is fine, I find it a lot easier to use than a lot of other distributions. As for your question about x86 or x64, if your box can run the 64-bit version there really isn't much of a reason not to. On Tue, Aug 31, 2010 at 12:34 AM, Ulrich Block

There are other supporting operations the server has to handle. Those applications may be 64bit and the performance boost of those applications may positively impact your scrds installs. I've yet to see a server running just a kernel and srcds. Most people will need networking, and drivers
