Thank you for the replies guys, i have been using centos 5.x for past 2 years but getting tired of segmentation faults. I have used gentoo before on a box and have a small amount of experience with it. Im thinking about officially moving to gentoo. Also whats your opinions on using windows if you are specifically running gldsrc games such as cs1.6? From what I have heard its better optimized for windows and therefore gives better performance?

Rock solid. Gets the job done. Not really for the linux newbies, as it doesn't do much hand-holding. Slackware is a basic distro without a lot of gui bells and whistles. I used to use Windows 2000, but got tired of the regular BSODs everytime I passed gas or a flock of cosmic rays blew by. Replaced Win2000 with linux, hasn't gone down once. Even the X server is surprisingly stable, the current version of xfce is lean and bloat free and more important, very stable. I run xfce because I use bpftp for my ftp server, and it is a windows program. Works great via wine. Everything else I've converted from their Windows equivalents to native linux apps. 3GB on the box, two OP4 servers, one minecraft server, one ftp server via wine, apache, noip, and it's currently using 1.5GB and 5% cpu (older Phenom four core cpu, one of the slower ones).
