Just a small note:
If you want to install a TF2 beta DS with a one-line command using SteamCMD:
steamcmd.exe +login "anonymous" +force_install_dir
<insert_your_directory_here> +app_update 229830 validate +exit
its equivalent to the classic hldsupdatetool command:
hldsupdatetool.exe -command update -game "tf_beta" -dir
<insert_your_directory_here> -verify_all

Subject: [hlds_linux] SteamPipe is coming. Download the TF beta
The orangebox engine games (Team Fortress 2, Counter Strike:Source, Day of
Defeat:Source, HL2:Deathmatch) are being upgraded to SteamPipe. Steam's
new-and-improved content delivery system. SteamPipe is currently used by
most games on Steam.
This change will impact server operators in at least two significant ways:
* You will use steamcmd instead of the HLDSUpdateTool to
install/update the server.
* The conversion will entail significant changes to the way the
files appear in the local filesystem on the server and client. The client
no longer uses GCF files. Instead, most assets are packed up into VPK, and
those VPKs are the same on the server and the client. The server no longer
uses 1000's of loose files.
We're using the TF beta to test these changes and identify the bugs, and
give everybody a chance to make sure their favorite mod or plugin will work
in the new system.
Everybody is encouraged to download the TF beta!
We've prepared an FAQ that discusses the details of the change and answers
the questions we anticipate:
https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=7388-QPFN-2491
Please report gameserver related bugs in this mailing list.
Client bugs can be reported through this mailing list, or in the TF beta
forum.

Thanks for your help, and happy testing!
(And remember, playtime in the beta counts towards item drops in the release
game.)
