Linux is an OS or a platform like Windows?
Hi there..
I'm struggling to figure it out, if Linux is an operating system then what the hell are others? Such as MINT, DEBIAN, UBUNTU, REDHAT, etc.. If it is a platform like Windows, then what you're using, would you use, would you recommend me and which is the best edition of Linux (Specially for HL1 Servers)? And how many of you host a HL1 Servers on s Linux? In Win32 platform I've used 98, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, Se7en. I've have NOT used Server 2008 YET! Moving to Linux. I'm a little twelve years of kid, you can't say Google is your friend or something like that. :) |

Linux is a kernel. Linux Mint, Debian GNU/Linux, Ubuntu, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, etc. are Linux distributions.
Google is your friend. |

It's the Linux kernel who is known for being good at serving, not a specific distribution. You should go for a more stable distribution though, like Debian or CentOS. Before hosting servers on Linux, hack your way trough 2 or 3 distributions so you can see what's better to you. |

If you're looking for recommendations, here's a small talk I had with quim about Gentoo and his recommendations for beginners in Linux. This was a while ago via PM, he might have some other input and I'm sure he'll end up chiming in soon.
