Me neither, but the main issue at hand is: Why isn't anybody playing on 
the Linux servers? I don't reckon our pipe is too slow or something like 
that, so what else could be the reason?
On related news, some pals of mine have reported that their german 1.2 
BF1942 copies (LEGAL copies ofcoz) cannot connect to, nor see my server 
in the in-game browser. Following their statements, not even manually 
adding the server works - Connection Error. They say (and I tend to 
believe them as they don't have a reason to lie about that) that they 
have been merrily playing on other (Windows) servers. I, however, can 
connect with my german retail copy with the US/EU 1.2 patch applied.
Is there something still wrong with Gamespy?

Good point. I guess that's the must-get-flight-need-to-compile-new-beta 
hurry.

I'd suppose that this is the only box Ryan can compile on. If the server 
were OSS (which it clearly won't become), he'd have access to 
Sourceforge's Compile Farm which tends to be helpful with such problems. 
If there were any support by EA regarding this matter, I guess he'd find 
something similar there. I am beginning to wonder if EA give a s**t 
about Linux...?
