Evilsystem Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Hello there.. So for the last couple of days I've been trying out TCAdmin on Linux and Windows.. I can't decide if I want to run the Master Server on a Windows machine or a Linux? I mean a copy of Windows Server 2008 cost like 689$? And Linux is free? So what is best in your opinion? Windows or Linux? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raizio Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I run it on windows. You can have it run on the Windows Server 2008 R2 Web Edition. Which is considerably cheaper. Also in a datacenter, in holland atleast, you are kinda bound by SPLA. I pay about 10 bucks monthly for the license. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilsystem Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 Hmm okay. Is there any disadvantages running a Linux Master Server? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raizio Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Not really, I mean, assuming you'll run gameservers on your master server too. It all just depends on the games. some games run better on linux, some run better on windows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilsystem Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 Okay. Well actually I need someone to confirm this. I read somewhere that Source games like; CSS, CSGO. Run better on Windows? And Minecraft run better on Linux? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raizio Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Word has it that minecraft does run somewhat better on Linux than Windows. I don't think Source matters all that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ringo Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Linux only matters for source if you want to run 1000fps servers. Personally I run all of my servers on linux. Mainly for its easy of use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilsystem Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 Oh okay, I didn't know that.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ringo Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Not to say Windows isnt good for game servers but Linux is less featured, it's simply more efficient as a multi-user OS than Windows. It prioritizes/controls processes better, and has lower CPU/memory overhead freeing resources for apps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilsystem Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 Yes. I totally agree with you.. And it's free too.. I just wanted to know how it worked out with TCAdmin.. And btw, what Linux-distribution do you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DamienWebb Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Obviously TCAdmin "v2" was created because Linux is a far better OS choice for running gameservers... hands down beats windows across the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCAdmin 2 isn't really built for Linux, it's not native. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
