Probably a good idea ;)
My advice would be to grab a 1GB USB stick if you have one laying around and put an Ubuntu Live CD iso on it, boot it, download hlds and see it works. That way you don't have to srew around too much. With the Unetbootin app (bot available for Windows and Linux) you automagically download a popular Linux distro and the graphical app will trake care of everything. The only thing you have to do is make sure the USB stick is formated as FAT32 and flagged bootable. There are enough howto's on the internet on how to do this under Linux (if you don't already know how do it ;) ).
PS: Oh, and it also needs to be mounted first. Because hlds is not open source you might want to not grab the latest Ubuntu release but go with the 8.04 LTS version (Long Time Release) so the odds for succes are higher ;)

Ubuntu 9.10 runs HLDS just fine. I use that for our dev testing linux server at my house.
I agree with ditching Fedora for server hosting, its just too likely you'll run into a problem...
Beta 4 is being built with G++/GCC 4.1 so it might not have as many issues on the newer distros.
MSuLL:
Thanks everyone, we're online.
One last quick question: I want my players to be able to vote for the next map. The WNx GE:S server(s?) have such a mod (which appears to be the same as one I've seen in TF2 as well) so I know it must exist, but my Googling is not yielding results :(
If anyone can steer me in the right direction... thanks!
major:
Install Sourcemod. Look for a mapvote plugin, there are lots, test and choose your favorite.

Although I totally support FLOSS, I want to add that GCC is slower than whatever Visual Studio's default compiler is.
