Noob questions coming up (have patience!) I'm thinking - only thinking of getting a dedicated Linux server to run my TF2 game on. I already got a "slot" on a server with a really great provider that hasn't let me down. But i'm thinking - i stress thinking of getting a dedicated one to play about with.
Can someone help me along with explaining how this works? (and the correct terminology) 1) How many 'instances' of a game can i run on a dedicated server? 2) I know that the (example) IP of my current set-up is 12.345.678.90 - and this might be on a shared server as i have a port number *:12345* at the end of the IP?? Is that correct? 3) If i am correct then i am currently just one 'instance' of TF2 on a dedicated server run by my provider? 4) Can I run more than 1 type of game on a dedi server? 5) What about security? 6) I read all you guys emails about the set-up of the server, I take a look at the pics you provide to show performances, try to understand the command line stuff you go on about (fps, boost and other variables etc) - will i have to thoroughly learn how to set it up like you lot? (in other words, become more geeky than i already am as a Web Dev fluent in a couple of languages) 7) Any other helpful (non-condescending) advice for a noob? Very much appreciated, Pat _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
