[hlds_linux] Traceray Crash
I'm not sure if this is already known or not, but I didn't see it anywhere in the mailing lists and it hasn't been fixed yet. There appears to be a problem in the physics code in TF2 regarding tracerays, as the server crashes sometimes when they're used. See also: http://goo.gl/sSfdk I've had to disable most of the plugins on my server to get it to stop crashing. It's not a plugin issue, but rather an issue with plugins calling code built into the game that is now buggy. This started after the Halloween update.

Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds] TF MvM hosting questions
CS:S runs on the same engine and it supports 65 (or something along those lines, I know nothing about CS:S) players. Just throwing that out there.

Re: [hlds_linux] Mandatory TF2 update released
I haven't had any reliability issues with Steam Trading lately, I don't know what you're experiencing. It has come a long way since the old method was removed. The only possible concern I have with it now is that it uses the Steam Overlay, which can be disabled. It can also crash, which has happened to me a few times, and I had to completely restart the game.
