[bf1942] BF2 linux server at launch

[Andreas Andersson]

I think it would be OK. Especially if the server is released on
lightcube previous bf-servers.

The question of us releasing on lightcube is being processed by the
bosses. I think it would be a great idea, but it's not up to me I'm
afraid.

Are we ok to try to make these packages ourselves?  ie.. dice will not
