Just go with the one you have right now. It's not like you're actually going to 'buy' the one we suggest right? You're just going to pirate it or am I being to cynical right now?

I highlighted the part that some people failed to understand to, hopefully, prevent more useless posts.

Since your only requirement is that it should be a server edition, I suggest you go for Windows Server 2003 (Web or Standard edition, whichever you can get cheapest), which is Windows XP's counterpart and a lot cheaper than Server 2008.

If you decide to go with it you'll need to copy the maps, models, sounds & sprites from windows, ~10 min time.

If I'm right, the binaries are optimized for windows but I guess under linux it will be provided a more stable environnement.
