Never done it myself, and don't know the game...

What do you need? Do you already have a Linux machine setup? Have you downloaded the server and checked out the installation instructions?

These are usually included in the installation file that you download for the server you want to run. Have you already installed the server and can't get it going?

It is pretty easy to do.

you must have the nvidia driver from nvidia.com and installed it. you can find plenty of information. i do not go over that here.
download et linux version and et pro
use chmod 755 filename to get both of them executable by your user
./name_of_file_to_run do this to both of them. i think you do not have to be the root user, but if that does not work, try again as the root user.
start et by typing in terminal or the run box "et"
setup the server from the game like you normally would in windows
use linux from now on instead of windows

I found another better way. You can do this without the gui running. It will be better to do it without the gui running. Set your default init run level to 3 in /etc/inittab and reboot. After you have installed enemy territory, run this from the command line. etded is enemy territory dedicated server. Here is what it looks like when it runs.

Code:

chris@debian:~$ et
et        etded     etherape
