[bf1942] BF2 linux server at launch

[Aubrey King]

I would have loved to, but reading mail in pine and catching up on 700 
(literally) emails - not counting all my root mail - didn't lend itself to 
that.  I appoligize.  Been reading / replying as I see 'em all day and I 
didn't expect to see so much traffic on this list all in one day.
