If you need any assistance with the linux side of it; i'm currently running 4 l4d2 servers on my machine without issue, so can give you some pointers if you need 'em

Linux, windows server for gaming = begging to be hacked imo as hackers love to target gamers, it takes away all their fun (the gamers) and thrills the hackers to no end to see entire communities not able to share in a friendly fragfest but as always that's imo.
