I'm new to Linux, but am interested in building a server. Mostly for the learning experience. I would like to at least have a goal in mind, so I'v choosen to build a half-life server. With that in mind I am trying to find the best distribution of Linux. I started at Linux.com and have decided on Madrake. Can anyone comment on this choice or maybe offer an alternative?

Hey! I've run Half-life dedicated server on a pentium233 with 128mb ram & cable. It ran ok with redhat 7.(0,1&2). I'm sure a biger processor would help. Use google and search for the hlds (half-life dedicated server). The install instructions are inthe package. Also, after you set up a server on your internal-lan & open it up for play, then from your winbox be sure to select a lan game to join your server. Be lookin for you!
