[bf1942] BF2 linux server at launch

[Aubrey King]

Here's a question.. will the server fork off children so that we can make 
use of technologies like openmosix?  As a gentoo guy, you should see the 
incredible greatness that would acchieve. ;)  60 processors are better 
than 2, imo.

If so, it would be amazing to get a bunch of nerds together - even on 
different continents - to create ipsec tunnels to their home servers and 
share time to create one mammoth bf2 server.
