"Windows just cant do that" Get a clue. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jonathan M Sent: 09 October 2003 05:07 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] On the Eve of Half-life 2: A Linux User's Lament
Arr Not another one http://www.fileplanet.com/files/50000/59236.shtml Both the linux and windows servers are stand alone free download packages This has always been the case right from the start. Linux is therefore not used over windows because of its free HLDS packages. Its used over windows due to the fact that running servers located some 300+ km away is possible. Its also possible to have those servers running for months and years without a problem. Windows just cant do that, its getting better and coming closer, but it just cant do it.
