I have a spare computer downstairs, and would like to transform it into a server for hosting personal game servers and perhaps websites too, which Linux should I use for it?
Thanks
What's the specs on the computer, and what gameserver(s) do you intend to host?
Also how fast is your upload/download?
In my experience, I use a Pentium 4 PC with Lubuntu to host a TF2 server and a website from home, and it can get to about 18 players. I know I should use the server edition, but I'm not experienced enough with linux to not have a GUI.
One of these days I'll build a better server machine.
i run arch linux for my server box. it works fantastic

Can't remember the specs off the top of my head, it's a old Pentium me dinks, as for servers, maybe Minecraft or source games.

I would say if your not used to Linux just try and get your hands on some windows XP.
