Can someone post a link to the best 32 bit distro that still has active support? I'm trying to run a older game and server.

Thanks

Hi ou8it,

Welcome to LQ!!!

Which distro to use is your choice. Here is the link where you can find information on all distrubtions and if they have active support or not: http://distrowatch.com/

'best' is entirely subjective. If you ask 10 Linux users which is the best distro you're liable to get 15 answers


Maybe if you said which game it is you might get more useful answers.

By "active support" do you mean you pay someone money, and then they are available to answer your questions? The leader in that kind of thing is Red Hat: http://redhat.com

On the other hand if you mean "which distros will run on 32-bit hardware" to be honest, all of them. I can't think of a single distro that is 64-bit exclusively.

I should give you some background on what I have done so far. The game I run (Think Tanks) dedicated servers on is a discontinued game. We still have a active community and a secondary master server to backup the on / off original master server.

I tried the newest Ubuntu and was unable to run my dedicated server or play the game on Windows 7 Pentium Duel core 2.8 ghz . I installed my old version of Ubuntu (which currently is installed on a xp machine and works fine for hosting and playing)on the newer Win 7 pc and am able to host but not play.

See the following thread for more info:

I can send this game to anyone to test with. I don't care much which distro, I just want to be able to run the server/servers and be able to play the game.

Thanks

Going to try Linux Mint. Does this install with a boot loader like Ubuntu?

Yes!
