Indeed, don't try to host a production server with it - it is, after all, an alpha. Purely for testing.

Agreed. Hold off and wait for the Devs to get it a bit more stable. Right now efforts seem to be wasted on what to use and what performs best.
I think the question needs to be asked if ArmA3 linux server is going to have better support than ArmA2 did and will it use the same libs as we are dealing with now.
Last thing I want to do is change Linux versions everytime there is an update. (exaggerated but hey, why not?)![]()
It's probably going to be using the new glibc, too. There are loads of performance improvements, bug fixes and new features in the newer versions so you really should think about switching. I don't think you'll need to upgrade to a newer version in a while.
Alternatively, use a rolling-release distro like ArchLinux, though the frequent updates can break things sometimes.
