Hello, My first question is that I have noticed that linux is an option instead of it being solely windows. I am trying to host halo servers. Can I run a halo server on a linux machine, or is it windows dependent. Also I was wondering on how many 16 man halo servers can I run on a single cpu pc running at 2.8 ghz 512 mb Ram and 10mb uplink.

Halo runs in Windows only. You can use programs like WINE to get it to run in Linux, but you'll take a performance hit and it's outside of Cortex's scope. See my response in the pre sales question about number of servers. There's no need to cross post. Once you ask your question we'll find it no matter where it is.
