FreeBSD is quite a good OS, however most game server binaries are in Linux format and thus require the linux emulation that FreeBSD offers. If you're planning/wanting to run anything in 64-bit mod, then you'd probably be out of luck as I believe the emulators are only 32-bit (I'd love to be wrong about this though). Fedora Core 2's probably your easiest bet, and is popular enough that alot of applications support it out of the box. I believe Source servers have issues on FC3, so stick with 2 if you go that route. Gentoo's great, but definitely not a novice, or quick install OS.
