Is there any way to SSH using putty into my CS server start it and then exit putty and still have my server running?

look for a "daemon"-option. if the half-life server is a good program, there must be an option. if it's not there, search for a program called "screen" (i don't know if it is that one included in portage).

good luck.

Assuming what rmalolepszy is true...

On the CS box, create user "startcs".
Setup RSA keys for passwordless authentication for this user.
Edit the users .profile -->

master the use of screen and sshing becomes so much easier that it's almost scary.
