hello all
im trying to set up my server with linux so it can run srcds, but the problems have already started even before i have started installing linux!
Gentoo - cd not recognized as bootable
debian - wont install without my network card drivers (found them but apparantly need to be compiled + i do not have a floppy drive)
anyway im looking for the most straight forward install of linux i can get that will run srcds
here is my hardware
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz
VID: Radeon x1900 GT 256mb PCI-E
RAM: 2GB
HDD: 145.4GB
NIC: Marvel Yukon 88E8053 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller ONBOARD
so if anyone could suggest a good linux distribution that should do the following, it would be much appreciated
*recognizes my hardware
*runs srcds
*is not gentoo or debian
thanks for your time
