[bf1942] 1.3 tomorrow and FAQs...

[Matrix]

Just curious... If I wanted to read up in depth on how to code a port to
Linux for a "dedicated server" only, and not the whole game...  What book
would I look for?  or reference...

I am a programmer, but just have never ventured into the Linux programming
that much...  Mostly windows bases programming.  I would just like to see
what it takes to port a "dedicated server", and possibly venture down the
road of porting games...

thanks
