Hi

Currently I am considering Ubuntu or CentOS to host counter strike game server, and as usual quite confused between both. In terms of performance, which Linux OS would be better for Game server hosting? Fire1

Hi

Probably it doesn't make any difference in terms of performance. What I would recommend to you is, that you should select OS according to your comfort. Thanx

HI

I've used Debian and CentOS for game server hosting and both work really nice. However, choose one your most comfortable with. Personally, I would suggest Debian over Ubuntu.

Hi

In my opinion, if you are going to install gamecp the CentOS need to be considered, however make it confirm that your web host support third party control panel.

Thanx

Hi

CentOS is much easier to configure and set up, but this is just my personal opinion which is based on my own experience. Ubuntu is most probably prefered for a Desktop OS. I think those people who are using Ubuntu for servers, might being already use it for their Desktop OS.
