Hello good fellows: I happen to be one of those rabid Quake players that you hear about from time to time. <g> I see that: <http://www.freebsd.org/ports/games.html>; has a listing for quakeserver-1.0 and I just thought I'd ask: This looks like it's mainly for Quake 1 (older version of ID's popular game). Has anyone here happened to set up a Quake *2* server under FreeBSD? I know that this can be done with Linux, but I have no Linux Quake Server Guru to talk about it with, and I'd probably not know where to start (If i wanted to do it the right way). <g> My main reason for posting is that I'd assume this would be very different with Unix *BSD systems than, say, the typical RedHat/Debian/Slackware messes that can be made into a decent, but often painfully brittle, Quake server. (or, I could be complete wrong about that). I'd also imagine that FreeBSD would make one fast and solid game host. SooOOOOooo.. Has anyone done this? If so, did you take notes? :-) Any URLs? (I can't find any). Thanks - b. P.S. If it has been done, would anyone like to recommend any specific hardware configs? --- Brian Clark + Web Developer f u s i o n w e r k s . n e w . m e d i a tel: (864)227-0750 | fax: (864)942-7249 mail: mailto:brianj@fusionwerks.com web: <http://www.fusionwerks.com/>; pgp: finger -l for public key(s) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
