I was able to run L4D on FreeBSD 7.1-prerelease with the linux_base-f8 port.
I don't run a public server, just one for friends. I have issues with the server with using -fork, but I'm guessing they're related to that I haven't done enough research into how to properly configure it. So, a single server, running, used occasionally. I probably don't use it enough to say whether or not it works well over time, but I suppose I could just launch one open to the public and find out. -Joe On Dec 1, 2008, at 3:00 PM, Patrick Lahni wrote: > Quoting kama <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > >> >> Hi, >> >> I have now healthy servers again on FreeBSD without crashes.
