    There should be no problems on any OS if you set it up right. ;)

    It pretty much comes down to whatever you are most comfortable using. Some like Linux, some like Windows, some settle for Wine.

    I really enjoy windows, works fine. Just the receiving data bug in rust is killing my server with no solution in sight.

    I perfer windows, but sometimes Linux is a better option, but its a opinion on which one you like the most.

    It should be the same, it's the same software. It really just depends on your setup and preference.

    Been running server on Linux passed couple days, and I'm about to setup a Windows machine later today just to compare the administration experience. Its been years since I've used Windows, but there doesnt seem to be much support for Rust on Linux. No proper rcon utility like Rusty (i'm using a random perl script for basic rcon connection). No up arrow in console/rcon to go to previous command. No console tab completion support. No decent C# dll decompiler for Linux (that I can find, at least) for making plugins either. I'm sure there's more, but I just found this game literally 2 days ago so I'm still a very new to it all.

    I'll be running Rust/Oxide on two identical machines side by side for usability comparison on Linux (Debian Sid), and Windows (XP SP3). Will report my findings. Should be interesting since i'm pretty much a big anti-MS bias person ^_^

    Did you mean C# compiler? The compiler is identical and works 100% the same way as the Windows one.

    No, just a decompiler so I can see the rust API. Can't seem to find a decent one on Linux, but a ton on Windows. I've been using dotPeek up here at work, and it seems to be decent. I like it's ability to open all the ddls at once and run searches on the whole thing.

    I havent needed a compiler yet. The plugins dont seem to need compiling from what I've gathered.

    They do need compiling, but you don't have to care about it because Oxide compiles your plugin every time it is loaded :)
