| 
| Ok, here it is:
| 
|    http://icculus.org/betas/mohaa/spearhead_lnxded_2.11-ALPHA1.tar.bz2
| 
| 
| This is actually based on the Spearhead 2.15 codebase, but I've hacked it
| up to report itself as "2.11" so the latest released win32 clients won't
| reject it in the server browser. They use the same protocol version, so
| this should be safe (har har, "what could possibly go wrong?"). This will
| fix itself in a later release, but this should satiate those hungry early
| adopters, like Luke.  :)
| 
| I've only tested this for (no joke) 30 seconds. Win32 client could see the
| Linux server on a LAN in the server browser, connect, and fight against
| another client. I have not tested internet play at all. This is very much
| an untested alpha. If you aren't really curious or really desperate to try
| this, you might want to wait until this is declared beta quality (or
| production quality, even). You have been warned.
| 
| 
| Understand a few things:
| 1) This is ALPHA quality code, don't expect it to be stable.
| 2) You need to install the game on win32, and copy it over, like the
| original MOHAA Linux server.
| 3) This is ALPHA quality code, don't expect it to be stable.
| 4) This will refuse to run in 30 days, but we'll have updates before then.
| 5) This is ALPHA quality code, don't expect it to be stable.
| 6) Read the README, use bugzilla, use the mailing list. Don't email me
| directly.
| 
| I highly recommend GameAdmins.com's MOH:AA server tutorial for
| configuration examples. For the most part, setting up a Linux Spearhead
| server is just like setting up a Linux MOH:AA server, and just about
| anything new in Spearhead is configured identically to the win32 version.
| 
| I think all of my Linux-specific additions (sv_chatter, etc) have been
| re-ported for Spearhead, but if I missed anything, let me know. I haven't
| added any requests (like logging certain details to aid external
| applications, etc. Please nag me to finish that!).
| 
| With less than six hours to go before 2003 in my time zone, at least I
| kept my promise about having this out between Christmas and the New Year.  :)
| 
| 
| Oh, and this is alpha-quality code, so don't expect it to be stable.
