hi, i have a call of duty 2 gaming server hosted at my house, it uses windows, but i heard Linux does a much better job.
does anyone know a good version of Linux that would work fine with my call of duty 2 server to run in? thanks. |

first off, is your server not running good on windows, or does it work just fine? Do you use this computer for anything besides running the call of duty server?

I believe Linux does not support call of duty. Linux is best for http/ftp/telnet/ssh servers, not gaming servers. Linux has few games that would require a gaming server. Realize you are using a completely different operating system - it's the equivelant to asking if you can make a Conter Striker server in OS X.

Hi, I would recommend going for Ubuntu 6.10, or maybe 6.01 LTS for your choice of Linux... Especialy if you are not very experienced with Linux systems... You coudl probably find an instalation of CoD2 in one of many Ubuntu repositories, and then use Synaptic (Synaptic is something like Add/Remove Programs in Window$) to install it, or maybe apt-get...
Ubuntu is based on Debian, so probably packages made for Debian, will work on Ubuntu (don't know though, I'm also a big beginner for Linux) |

I'll personally recommend to use Fedora Core 5. it does supports Call of Duty.
You may take a look at http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersi...iTestingId=4938 But, I don't understand the logic, how a windows server can be slower.. Please tune it before you leap to linux. |

You could choose between Fedora core and SUSE .. opensuse and fedora core are both available for free downloads..
Fedora core : Fedora core is a projetc sponsored by red hat. You can download their distributions free of cost. You can get them at fedoraproject.org/wiki/Distribution/Download OpenSuse: Open suse is a project sponsored by Novell. I think there is a commercial distribution of SUSE. But if you want a distribution free of cost., you can download it at en.opensuse.org/Download - 24k - Cached - Similar pages You can get information about many linux distributions and download links for those distributions at linux.org. To be exact , you could download the distruibutions using the links displayed at the following page. http://www.linux.org/dist/ There is a search functionality available on that page . Fill up the search form and you should be presented with a list of distributions with their download links. Good Luck in finding your destined distribution, and installing it. |
