[bf1942] Announcement: BF1942 Linux Dedicated Server open beta

[Pieter Van Impe - Devintra]

We just did some test on the server with a guy from DICE on it, and it
runs fine
Only thing is the high cpu load, with 16players its about 50% on a p4
2.53

Once the files are in disk cache it'll start up much quicker :-)

Improving loading and startup times are on my list for 1.5.
