I have run my gameservers on a rootserver for months now and i find myself having to reset the server due to some messed up update (don't ask). I wanted to ask you guys for advice, since i have the possibility to choose between a 32 bit image and a 64 bit one for debian stable, which i will be using to run the gameservers and a small webserver for my community sites.
The machine has plenty of horsepower for my small needs, it's an i7 920 with 8gb of ram and 2 750 SATA2 drives in mirroring. I noticed a small decrease of performance once installing hlxce on the two l4d1 servers i had running, my community consists of competitive players so they're a little bitchy about hit reg, but l4d2 servers were pretty much fine. I am really tempted on trying out the performance on a 64bit setup, a colleague of mine said to me it runs just fine and there are not any compatibility issues that i should worry about, except for those 32bit libs which i need to install. Is there anything i should take into account before installing the 64bit OS? How is your experience on it? _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
