I don't see how you all helped him, he asked a simple question, and the answer is, yes, it will work, but on shard that is of a small user base, like 20-30 players on at once. I wouldn't suggest it for the larger shards. I ran a shard on an original xbox, and at another point I ran a counter-strike server. What I suggest though is building the distro to be minimalistic. As in, tweak out the system to only run exactly what's needed. a real lightweight window manager, if you can just run command shell only and load it up that way (it's in the session deal when you login to ubuntu), and load up the server like wine runuo.exe from the shell that should be ok... I know when I last ran a shard though, it was with an actual linux port of a server emulator (that is now outdated?) and it ran pretty nice in gentoox linux. Course that was not running X at all, therefore, saving alot of memory and such. If it doesn't work at all for you, try to run a couple of those other servers that do have native linux ports without running X at all in a console, and you should find it usable.
