<br>
Seeing as I have only years of experince and a general assumption this will lead me to belive that.<br>
<br>
1. - Developers prefer to use windows hooks and helpers to code<br>
2. - Developers have insufficient knowledge of the linux kernel<br>
3. - Developers have insufficient knowledge of the various command line helpers that C compilers in Linux have and their compilations are generic ans might work better on the same libs/os version/distribution as it was compiled on.<br>
<br>
But this isn't generic, there have been some great linux versions of gameservers in the past<br>
