I recently prefer Linux as my hosting environment due to it's light footprint, great speed and the simplicity of only having what you need installed. Ubuntu and windows are great developing platform, but stripped down OSX and debian are my go to for server needs.
Actually, I tend to find OS X or FreeBSD are awesome for developing, (Windoze if really have to go dotNET) and I would opt for

Same reasoning as you. You can put as much or as little as you like in Frugalware. The base package is really minimal, everything's modular. If you need a daemon, a driver, a service, a database engine... you add it. If you don't, the dependencies are so tight you don't get anything you don't ask for. (Unlike Deb... and Ubuntu, of course,
is a "home" distro of Deb
)
I've found that MONO runs dotNET 4+ MSIL executables faster than Doze. But if you are talking about DNF < 4, yea... there are lots of problems, and I don't think MONO Org can be arsed fixing all the undocumented stuff in outdated frameworks.
Seems to me that if this is the issue, getting the source up to building as a DNF 4+ exe would be the way to go.
But, you clearly have a competent system going your self. So there is competition between solutions... usually not a bad thing.

Funny... I only played RS for a couple of weeks... but there was no "client" as such. It just ran in my browser, and since it didn't even seem to use a decent plug-in (Flash / Silverlight / Director / Unity etc) it was really unresponsive and cludgy. Much to the point I thought I would be better off playing Dungeon-Hack in Telnet again. XD
I'd like to see how it runs on an actual client free of browser constraints. Aside from the poor UI I felt it had potential.
Good luck to all of you. I hope things come together. If there was an RZ RS, I would certainly give it a try... how much I would actually "play" would depend on how I got on with the trial run.
