[bf1942] Best Version of Linux to run for this test?

[sittnduck]

MessageI am running RH8, the box is a an athlon 1.2 with 512mb, on a T3 with a choke of 1024/1024. No crashes, lag on all maps after several minutes, or players, it makes no difference which, cpu usage climbs to 80% with more than 3 player, in water maps or land based. 4 windows servers with roughly the same specs, no issues.

  Maybe we could get a consensus of Linux distro's running the server without issues in this thread?

    No I don't, I was thinking that if I have to update I might as well get a distribution that works well with BF1942, as this is the main reason for using Linux. I was thinking of Mandrake but I did not see many folks running it here on this test.

      I have seen quite a few notes going back and forth on the stability of different OS's for this test.

      Some say Freebsd and other RedHat 7.x, others say others.

       

      Has anyone been tallying up the score on which is most stable at present?

       

      I use TurboLinux 6.0 (came free with a hardware device of some sort or another) and it seems to crash every map change. I am not around the server to check it frequently but when I do it needs to be run again. Thinking about loading something newer, and would like help on what to choose.

       

      Cheers

      Roger
