Hi there

You're welcome, and that's exactly the problem many smaller players like myself have with platforms. A server based on the dual core Opteron CPU is in my opinion the best suited for hlds and srcds servers. You won't be able to take advantage of the 64 bit command set for the game, but the operating system and supporting apps will. The hl1 servers are now threaded, I'm sure something similar is coming soon for source servers. At any rate, both cores will get used well. > > I'm surpised that this program (SRCDS) is closed source.

Curious who controls it since > Valve obviously "doesn't support it"... Valve license their engine. They're a business, they need to make money. Like it or lump it. This list is part of their support network. > > I could probably hack my own server as a CS-mod out of the source-SDK but > thats WAY more work then i'm looking for tonight ;-) Lol... _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
