Choose OS to host srcds servers!

[KristofferA]

Hi

im really new to this forum...
i,ve been hosting servers for some time but have problems with thats its unstable.
currently i host on a 2.4 ghz p4 with 512 mb and i can set in 512 more when i have time...
the operation system is Windows server standar 2k3...
the server is runing one CSS:GG 24 slot and CSS:ZM 32 slot...
what i need help with is what kind of operating system... im thinking of linux, ubuntu more specific... i have heard that linux srcds servers self-restard when they crash, and basicly runs more stable... is this true?
all help is good help

looks like you need a more powerful machine. is this server at your home, or is it at a datacenter somewhere? What's your transfer rate?
