Best VM Server OS?

[Nubbleet]

What would be the best OS to install on a VM for hosting a vent server and maybe a dedicated game server? I was thinking Windows Server 2008 R2, but does anyone have another suggestion?

i'd prolly pick free bsd.

articles I've read in the past describe BSD as the best server in terms of stability. a lot of webservers were running on a flavor of BSD.

its been some time since i read this though. I'm sure a lot has changed.

I'd go linux for the cost as well.


edit - opps, bsd is not linux. it is unix

Ah ok. Yeah I had FreeBSD on a VM before shouldn't be too hard for me to re-setup.
