Do the games run on Linux?

I couldn't really tell you what distro is best for a game server. My opinion is that Linux is Linux is Linux. I personally don't install any graphical interfaces on any of my Linux servers. I do custom installs and only install the components that I absolutely need for the server to run what I need it to do. That is one nice thing about Linux over Windows. Most people just go with what version they feel most comfortable with.

Good choice. Always best to go with what you know, but just for the record, BSD is best known for making a great server, although Fedora Core 6 is getting very popular for servers as well.
