AW: [bf1942] Announcement: BF1942 Linux Dedicated Server open beta

[Steve Getman]

Can I suggest that bug reports get posted to the forum at
http://bf1942.lightcubed.com/forum/ ?

This way there will be an archive of the bug and any posted solutions.  If
its too much trouble then no big deal...

Steve
