      Good stuff, tell me how the Linux server performance is like.

      My Windows srcds on a 2800+ Athlon is pushing 50% with 18-20 clients. The Dual Xeon 1.7ghz in the back maxes out at 18-20 clients per CPU. It's still not multi threaded. :(

      Where is the Linux software? Does a tarball download along with everything else through your steam client, or do you have to grab it elsewhere?

      Do you have to go into the Shack group chat to get the passwords - the damn thing is full all the time and I can never get in... Why is there even a limit on how many people can be in a chatroom?
