Did you get any errors when you were compiling the source? Warnings are ok, but errors will cause problems.
If you really want to run on Linux, I highly suggest following the debian linux wiki, as it is very detailed and got me up and working perfectly in a short amount of time. You will also still need some info from the Yet Another Linux Installation Guide, like the start up scripts and such, but other than that you should be able to get setup without a single problem in a fair amount of time.
There are a couple other things that need to be adjusted for certain hardware situations. One is only applicable if the server you will be using has more than 1GB of ram. I plan to write more details on the Debian Linux installation sometime soon. But you can already find most of the info I have found out by reading the threads I started in the Linux section. There are a few.
