Re: Best Server OS - Sithis - 22.04.2013
If you don't know how to use the Operating Systems involved, it's not recommended to run a SA-MP server on it.

Re: Best Server OS - ]Rafaellos[ - 22.04.2013
Debian is better.
Re: Best Server OS - Scenario - 22.04.2013
Most Linux-based hosts use CentOS. If I were you, I would get CentOS 6 and the bit-version that goes along with your dedicated server.

Take a look at this for how to install and run a sa-mp server on linux.

CentOS is more secure but Windows is more simple and has more applications than CentOS (although, you can use Wine to run Windows applications but that isn't too reliable for every application)
You decide.

I agree with Alex, CentOS is indeed secure in many cases unlike Windows, may be hard to use but you'll eventually get it.

Re: Best Server OS - AndyLaw - 26.04.2013
Go for CentOS, it's most flexible, which is the reason why it's one of the most popular OS used for servers. Basically it's better than Windows in any possible way, it's more secure, does not consume that much resources as well.
Re: Best Server OS - denom - 28.04.2013
@Andylaw centos is semi advance... windows is easy somehow..
Re: Best Server OS - CrossUSAAF - 28.04.2013
Latest CentOS, or Debian.
