Well.. i would say that you need a "custom"kernel if you want a stable gameserver.

Im getting good results with std. Ubuntu Server 9.04, Q9550. (I get 995 FPS stable without SrcTV).

The stock ones are better, the newer ones generally have too much bloat (ie; every few ticks the TSC's are checked to make sure they are sync'd)

In my experience, the stock one was the most reliable.
