There isn't much difference srcds wise on the distro you use, it's up
to personal preference.
If you're considering Ubuntu you want to stick to LTS releases, you
also generally get more up-to-date packages compared to Debian.

I've been running a server on wheezy fire several years, but I don't
remember having to do anything specific to get it working, just installing
a lib or two through apt. (though this could have been because I already
had a Jessie apt source setup for other things)

I will be changing hosting providers in the near future. I will likely be
going with NFOServers - but with an un-managed VPS. I am planning to stay
with a VPS running one of these OS's:
- Debian v8 Jessie
- Ubuntu (LTS) v14.04.02 Trusty Tahr
- Ubuntu v15.04 Vivid Vervet
My current setup is based on Debian Jessie, but I am wondering if there
is really anything better about hosting on Ubuntu?
I recall having to go with Debian v8 Jessie (which at that time was not
the stable release) because of underlying dependencies (libc, etc.?) that
were difficult to work-around with Debian v7 wheezy at that time.
I also recall a brief conversation with Eric from Valve, indicating that
they compile dedicated server builds on Ubuntu, but test on Debian? But
that was probably at least 2 years ago. So, not sure how relevant it is
today.
So, what I am asking for anybody that wants to provide some feedback, is:
- Is there anything easier or better for hosting HLDS and SRCDS on
Ubuntu -vs- Debian?
- For those running Ubuntu, same question regarding v14.x -vs- v15.x? I
have used Ubuntu largely for desktops in the past - not as much for
servers. Generally, I do stay within the LTS releases - but open to
looking at v15.x if there is some advantage.
- Any other feedback on using one or the other?
Thanks!
(of course any feedback from Valve again would be nice, but not really
expected. Everybody feel free to direct reply instead of to the list, if
that is your preference)
