Reply-To: [email protected]
From just a straight performance comparison (not from a
breakage/support standpoint), then for the hlds games, there is
basically no difference between the two platforms (technically I've
found that disk operations happen faster on the linux hlds, but really
it makes no difference except like 1 second on REALLY big maps)
Now for srcds it does seems as though there's a very measurable
performance diffference between the two platforms, with the Windows
server outperforming the Linux server on the same hardware with
basically the same tweaks (mainly the timer tweaks that apply to both
platforms). My platform hardware is Dell 2800 Xeon P4 2.8 or Aberdeen
Stonehaven A141s with Opteron 248s, 252s, or 254s all running either
Win2k3R2 or Gentoo Linux (2.6.15.1 with some patches related to latency.)

I run a P4 3.0 gig with one gig of ram, running fedoracore 4 and i have
never run a more stable server. i have run strictly win2k in the past
and
now that i have run the linux distro ill never go back to win2k
currently running two dod 1.3 servers at 1X32 slot with amxmodx/metamod
and
1X13 slot private match server with no addons. im also running 1x20 slot
HLTV server.
the cpu stays well below 70% when the 32 slot server is full. this
server
is also Boosted.
The hit reg on a win2k server with Tick set at 100 is not as good as the
fedora with that same 100 tick. the only way to achieve the same hit
reg
with a win2k box is to tweak the quantums in the registry. Be
careful
doing this if your not sure what your doing.
Here is a link to a tutorial for tweaking the win OS quantums

I realise this is Windows list, but im just wondering if any admins have
any
performance comparisions between Windows 2k pro and Fedora Core 4/5
64bit,
running with an AMD64 Athlon chip for both HLDS and SRCDS. I have a box
with
the following specs:
Windows 2000 Pro.
AMD64 Athlon 3400+ (Socket 754)
1GB RAM.
I run a few servers on the box, but wondering if I would get more
performance and stability if i switched to a linux 64bit OS. I cant
afford a
64bit Windows OS unfortunatly. Any thoughts appreciated :)

That database error is coming up because you haven't set it to anything.
That has nothing to do with it, nor is that the logs.

that is correct, we tested it. Also if he restarts steam he can join
for
a lil while before vac kicks him. of ig he joins then leaves straight
away he won't get back in. anyone else think this is strange. Also if
there is nothing we can do valve just lost a valuable customer (but
aren't customers valuable???) and before you ask i am positive it is a

ok i can understand that ook. I just think it's wrong that again
valve
has released a product that is unfinished/sub standard and banned
someone for just being shit. Also i did check the list on the hlstats

the vac bans section of the control panel. also interestingly he is

vac banned from my server. which i think is extremely wierd becasue a

AFAIK, VAC bans are logged as follows:
"blah<><STEAMID><>" disconnected (reason "VAC banned from secure
server")
I'd say what you have is some random mod or plugin banning him for some
other reason.
