It is a 1800XP with 1/2 gig ram running = 4.7-RC. We can handle 20 ppl easily, could probably get close to 32 if ever got = that popular. http://server.counter-strike.net has good info on reqs that = are fairly close to freebsd. Note that if you start tacking on mods, the = cpu usage goes up. So, as far as requirements, try it on your target = machine and see how it fares. I recommend installing mrtg to track usage. When you go to install the linux steam stuff, be sure to run it as a = normal user in their home directory for security reason. Then you can run the server with normal permissions (non-root) and be safer if hlds is ever compromised.
