Smile Game servers running on linux


I'm looking for popular game servers(Counter Strike, L4D2, HL2...) running on Linux. But there is not a lot of information on this topic in the Internet. So, if you know any related resources, please, post a link here.

I run two gameservers currently, a CS:S and a TF2 server.

This tutorial has been by far the most helpful:

Along with this cfg generator (to get things up and running quickly:

I also highly recommend running sourcemod (http://www.sourcemod.com), it makes managing the servers within the game much, much easier.

Dedicated game servers is running on Linux .Having a dedicated piece of hardware that runs the server application provides a more efficient and play a peer-to-peer strict script. Many groups will set up their own game servers are run from their homes.The main reason for the popularity of video games is the multiplayer online game Thurs Players are able to interact with their peers and total strangers around the clock.
