[ut3] Linux dedicated server for beta demo now available!

[[FnG] Lambik]

I am considering in upgrading the server,
the choice is  "AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+", or "AMD Athlon 64 3700+" , is
either of 'em suitable to run UT3 Demo on ?
Which distribution is recommended to run UT3 on ? Debian (or Debian based
like Ubuntu), OpenSuSE or FedoraCore ?
