ShortCutMan ♥ Pure ♥ Bred ♥ Geek ♥	As long as Quake 2 has Linux server binaries, sure. Wait for Cheapalert to show up, he should know. -- 98% of the internet population has a Myspace. If you're part of the 98% that is an emo bastard, copy and paste this into your sig.

Chunky	well im going to take an old computer and install linux on it and then just run a dedicated server all day. if its not possible for quake 2, then ill just do it for a valve game, but ill have to wait and see what cheapalert says.

Chunky	im taking an out-dated computer and installing linux on it. the only thing that computer will be used for, is to run a dedicated server all day.
