ArmA2 on Linux - Which 'nix'

[Rommel 2]

So I've read around people using Debian, and Ubuntu, but there's many options out there? Which one has proved the less issues to ArmA2 so far?

Naturally I'm looking to create an ArmA2 Linux server, and from reading a few other threads, many have used 64bit versions aswell.

Any tips/guides etc?

regards

PS. I will be testing on a local machine with whatever OS gets recommended to me here :).

Use the linux you know.

If you don't know linux, learn linux before setting up a box for a dedicated server which is somehow connected to the internet. You should know about security, firewall and so on.

And everybody will say, that the linux they use, is the best, because they know it best.

I use debian, but have also knowledge over redhat, suse and gentoo.

Another hint: if you only want to host the dedicated server for ArmA2 and no other service (like web, ftp, mail and so on), 32bit is enough, cause the server is built under 32bit linux. If you use 64bit linux, consider installing 32bit-compatibility-libraries (or what it is called). You can find information about this here in the forum.

So, less trouble with 32bit.
