CentOS 6.3 works with the new update. But I know some GSP dont offer it. Debian i have not tested with the update but it keeps its libs up to date and theres no reason why it should not work I am using Gentoo on another box and that works perfectly fine as well.

Yeah, being a "downstream" from RHEL, CentOS is always way behind on releases. However, upgrading from 5.x to 6.x is not an option for me - at least not without switching hosting providers. I am shopping around for a new one, and while I am at it I may specifically jump from CentOS to Debian - since that 'nix flavor seems to be where initial development and testing is done for this game stuff. CentOS has been good for me, since I was working a lot with RHEL for a while at the day-job, and it works fine for me for the web, database and e-mail server stuff I have. However, on the game-hosting requirement RHEL/CentOS is just getting to be too problematic - due to always being way behind on various component releases. I have been getting a pretty-good deal on my CentOS host at my current provider. But, lately they've been a bit unstable anyway (after like 2 years of no issues at all). So, maybe now is a good time for a change. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
