There are so many things you can do with Linux that either you can't do
with Windows, or you have to pay an arm and a leg for professional
software to get it done. Linux scripting together with cron allows you
to fully automate so many things, simply and cleanly. Linux shell
scripting is much more powerful and flexible than the equivalent batch
scripting in Windows.
With Linux you have the power to know exactly what is running on your
server, and it is pretty simple to trim off the fat and run only exactly
what you need. With Windows that is either difficult, or impossible,
especially when it comes to os components (try uninstalling IE or
Outlook Express...).
My experience with Windows and Linux is with HLDS. When I switched to
Linux, I was able to more than double my sv_maxupdaterate. The only
reason I can guess for this is that Windows is attaching some kind of
bulky header to each packet, and if this is the case, then the same
performance improvement should apply to SRCDS as well.
I run servers on a home cable connection, so I am much more concerned
with bandwidth usage than a professional server operator might be, but I
would still think that even a professional server operator would find
lower bandwidth usage a good thing.

Yep Linux, but take some time getting it right. As I understand it kernel
config and version is pretty vital to getting a good server going.
Have fun :)

Yes I know that, but where should I ask?
The Windows mailing list is not better.
So please stop answering so stupid and give me a recommendation if you
have
tried both OS (Linux and Windows).
I already have two servers running on linux but the development of CSS on
linux sucks.
And I have no experience how it will be running CSS on Windows.
Thanks Rene

Heh
You are asking this question on the HLDS Linux list
Mmmmm I wonder what people will say?? hmmmmm
For my next trick, watch me go to a NRA meeting, and convince them to
vote
for guns to actually be well regulated. :)

Hello everybody,
what OS would you recommend for a CS Source Server?
Windows or Linux and why?
Thanks in advance.
