<font size="-1"><font face="Verdana">Sure, there will might be a way
to run it on sun solaris with a linux VM in it with a windows VM
in it (like a matrioska)<br>
<br>
Anyway TF2 (the most played FPS multiplayer currently?) is a
good example: IIRC there are more linux servers compared to
windows servers.<br>
Additionally high end competitions are played only on linux
servers.<br>
<br>
Additionally linux servers allows users to put online more
servers for lower price (no windows license needed) = more
servers availability.<br>
<br>
If you really ran cod5 within wine (as I did) you will for sure
remember the incredible memory leaks that were happening using
that combination (wine + codwaw) just after 24hours of
gameserver uptime.<br>
<br>
Anyway I'm not here trying to convince you why linux is better
to host *servers* (this is a list dedicated to linux servers)
but I'm here asking if there there's any news about linux
binaries.<br>

I'm asking this because I think every gameserver</font></font><font

own hardware" needs to plan their "business" and decide which
games they need to push and promote and which other games they
have to "discredit" in order to drive the users to the games
they think are more "profitable"/"cheap to maintain" (running on
linux is one of the key indexes IMHO).</font></font>
