FreeBSD. If it's a java game, all of the major processing should be done on the client side, with some database serving done on the server side.

Also, regardless of 'distro,' 1000 users is really nothing to speak of, provided you have enough internet bandwidth. ----- Eric F Crist Secure Computing Networks
