<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=1>Yep must agree Ut is one of the easiest servers
to config and run. And with the webadmin its a dream to remote admin Its a
feature thats been built in since the original UT. Pity more game devs didnt
include similar support</FONT></DIV>

BF42. It looked like the game to take over my HL servers in time... but
guess not. Knowing this, I wouldn't have bought the game in the first place,
and seeing after-release-support on both BF42, BF'nam, and other games
delivered by EA, I'll have a real hard time convincing myself to put my hard
earned money in other games like
BF2.</SPAN></FONT></DIV></SPAN></FONT></DIV>

a bit to picky when installed on Linux for my use. (it didn't deal well with
my SMP kernels)</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
