What do you need b3 for when you have libcod?
"Does not work" is an error report for a bug between keyboard and chair.

If you're using a VPS for CoD2, I advise against using a gui. Uses up server resources for something not needed.
Once you take away the gui - there aint much difference between linux distros. It's all basic command lines.
You want the one with the best security.

I would either use Debian or Ubuntu, whereat I tend always more to Debian as "real" server and Ubuntu for private development stuff (because of newest packages / tech).

Debian is considered more stable than Ubuntu and the base installation of Debian is cleaner. Originally Posted by Ni3ls

It receives 10 years updates and has the newest security features enabled by default. Like SElinux.
Ubuntu has a very extensive wiki. As kung foo man says Debian hasn't got the 'newest' packages. But you could switch to testing repository which is comparable with the latest Ubuntu.
(the wiki of Ubuntu could be used for Debian, since Ubuntu is based on Debian)
(if you go for CentOS then pick the recently released version (7))
Edit: If you go for Ubuntu then stick with the LTS version. It is supported for 5 years.Last edited by Mitch; 11th July 2014 at 19:15.
