Most important things on the Distro for me: - Ease of use with an nVRaid Bios controller (mainboard will probably have nForce4 with fake-hardware raid) - 64Bits (what else it the use of an Opteron) - BSD style boot system - Easy to update
That's all... (and I dunno if Gentoo was SysV or BSD, just never can remember :o) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dan E Sent: Monday, January 16, 2006 6:22 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [hlds_linux] RE: 64Bits Compatiblity I haven't had experience with 64 bit yet (no hardware to support it :( ), but I made the switch from Debian to Gentoo, and my servers have never run better. People no longer complain of lag, I don't have to restart, and it uses slightly less CPU. Best decision and hours of implementation I have ever made. lol Dan --- Christian Wagner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Actually I think that the best distro for 64Bits applications is > Debian Sarge. > 32 Players on a server run well on a 64Bits servers then a 32Bits with > equivalent CPU Arithmetic results. > > ________________________________________ > De : [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] De la part de Reinder > P. > Gerritsen > Envoyé : jeudi, 12. janvier 2006 16:25 À : > [email protected] Objet : RE: [hlds_linux] RE: 64Bits > Compatiblity > > I was thinking of SLAMD64 ('ve been a slackware fan for a very long > time > so...) > Anyone experience on that distro? > Main intention is to run a single gameserver with a lot of players - > something like a 28 or 32 player server on Day of Defeat. > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, January 12, 2006 3:40 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] RE: 64Bits Compatiblity > > Debian Sarge 3.1 / AMD64... > But the performance can be reached with SuSE's 9.3 64bit too (tested > some months ago) > > > [email protected] schrieb am > 12.01.06 15:23:34: > > > > > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > > > > >At least I'm running 3-4 CS 1-6 servers with > the hlds_amd64 binary and > (!)
