Linux beta server ready for Steam testin Apr 20, 14:55 Leon Hartwig

The Linux dedicated server is now ready to be tested on Steam. There are still some compatibility issues with Linux and Steam; the Linux server doesn't yet support Steam IDs. Consequently, all clients who connect will have the same WON ID, just like they did in the earlier stages of the Steam test. This means that for now, you won't be able to ban people. We are working on this, however, and should have that problem remedied for you soon.

The Linux server is not an actual Steam application like the Steam Windows server is. This means that you download, install, and run the Linux server just as you have always done in the past. Information about getting the files is below. The 'full' packages can be installed without any prior installation, as always. The 'upgrade' packages will work when installed over the last release, i.e. the HL 3109 upgrade can be installed on top of HL 3108 and the CS 1.4 upgrade can be installed on top of CS 1.3.
