windows and port their dedicated servers to linux<br>
<br>
Seeing as I have only years of experince and a general assumption this will
lead me to belive that.<br>
<br>
1. - Developers prefer to use windows hooks and helpers to code<br>
2. - Developers have insufficient knowledge of the linux kernel<br>
3. - Developers have insufficient knowledge of the various command line helpers
that C compilers in Linux have and their compilations are generic ans might
work better on the same libs/os version/distribution as it was compiled on.<br>
<br>
But this isn't generic, there have been some great linux versions of
gameservers in the past</span></font><font color=black><span style='color:black;
