Source Dedicated Server (srcds) in Linux

[cbwcjw]

I'm interested in running a source dedicated server in Linux. Right now I'm running it straight from a windows desktop. If I were to install ubuntu to the computer, would I see any improvement? Would this be a good switch?

PS: Garry's mod (a game srcds can run) and crashes chronically. Is there any way to automatically restart the program if it closes?

you will need to install screen but this is a great website for what you want to do, here it is http://www.srcds.com/db/engine.php?subaction=showfull&id=1098643920&archive=
now with garry's mod you need to have wine installed.
