Wich Linux to run server on ?

[hackie]

Hi all

I run my server on a win7 system.
But I want to spend some time in setting up servers on a linux machine.

So , which linux is the best for running TM servers on ?

Suggestions are welcome .


Thanks

There is so much choice out there and none is better then the other.
It really depends, for me there is no doubt I would use a server edition with no XTerminal as I think it creates more trouble then it is worth.
A Ubuntu server edition is good, I have it installed on my server, and it has run smoothly for nearly 2 years. If you haven't used Linux at all you should have a ago with it, it easy enough to install and there is plenty of tuto that will help you.

Most people out there run a Debian system, so I would go with the latest version of it (Debian Wheezy). Nearly every server provider offers it, so if you ever buy a server you are used to it. I run trackmania servers on debian based systems for more than 5 years and never had a problem.

I use CentOS 6.3 on both of my VPS'. Should give it a shot, but note you wont have the aptitude repositories or apt-get.

Me too - CentOS 6 with Apache and MySQL servers, all supporting over twenty TM servers plus others. I have a website area as well. Resource usage is very low and I've never had any problems, except a few of my own mistakes while I was learning a few years ago.
