[cod] wine?

[|T-OC|Morpheus|:.Web]

As the "dedicated" version of the windows server opens a graphical 
console, I don't think it will work in a console-only environment as, I 
assume, most of admins usually manage (power of scripting, more 
available resources, those kind of advantages console-managed linux 
servers can offer compared to windows boxes). If it worked, far less of 
us (I'm also admin for my team) would be angry about activision's 
behaviour towards game servers providers/hosters.

And contrary to "desktop" licences, server licences of windows are not 
so affordable or price-reduced, and we don't speak about time to adapt 
the managing app or manually manage the servers for game hosters...

Definitely, we NEED linux binaries, the reason can be political (don't 
want to hear about windows boxes), or financial (don't want to pay for 
windows boxes), or technical (we don't know or don't have time to manage 
windows boxes). Nothing else has to be said, and seeing Activision 
repeat the story with each release of a game or simply a patch is what 
pushing my interest of server admin out of their stuff.

It's not to get you afraid, but there is no reference of WaW in icculus' 
bugzilla yet...
