I'm definitely up for giving linux a try if things work better than windows. Haven't set up a linux box in years so can anyone recommend a good distro?

I think most people either use Gentoo, Fedora, or Debian for EQEmu and they all work well from what I hear. I run on Debian and it does very well and is relatively easy to learn and manage. Also, Debian probably has the most complete wiki guide for it out of the different distros, so that might be a good one to start on for someone new to it. The wiki page for it could use some updates to be fully accurate again, but most of the info there should still be valid or at least useful to get up and running. Here is the link:

I just setup Debian with it on a VM this weekend. I had tried other distros and even a different version of Debian that the wiki says. Take my word for it, use that exact version they say. My compile went to shit on all of the other version. With the revision of Debian they said use, the compilation worked the first time. I mean it was still a little of a pain in the ass figuring out the other things, but luckily I am familiar with Suse, SLES, etc so my Linux Kung-Fu was strong enough to wade through it.
