Depends on your opinion. I use Ubuntu and I like it better than Windows because it doesn't use a lot of system resources to run... Theres a new version of Ubuntu out, its called Ubuntu 9.04. You can get a desktop version or a server version, which is used mostly for servers but it's done through putty and you need to know the code, but you can still sue CuteFTP or whatever you use. The Ubuntu desktop can be used to run servers for CS:S and website but you will need to have it go download APPS inorder for it to run. I use Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop but I am probably goin to switch to Ubuntu Server. Also I've just used Linux for servers that why I like it better than windows.

Here's a link Ubuntu Download. It's the Ubuntu site and just click on the desktop or server edition, they also have a notebook edition too

Yes. Just split your harddisk. Smile

It's a standard function on Windows. Go in "Control Panel" and then further down(scroll down) followed with something about "hardisk spare place" and you will get an index of your harddisk system and there you'll be able to split it.


Appartently, Windows and Linux compared for running Source Dedicated Server are an equalized result.

It's called repartitioning, and you can't run Linux and Windows at the same time. Only 1 at a time. You have to restart your PC to switch Operating Systems. However, Sun has a program out called Virtual box that I've played with a little bit. It allows you to run Linux in Windows, or vice versa.
If you are planning on running a server on the computer you play on...

Or what you could do is built another computer (or buy one) and put Linux on it. I built one so I have my computer with Windows on it and then next to it I have another computer (Linux Box) with ubuntu on it and I use VNC or CuteFTP to edit and start my server. That's if you don'y want to split your hard drive.
