It's a good thing he doesn't have any self-pity. :cheesy:

I'm not much for Ubuntu, mainly because I'm a Linux geek, but since Ubuntu has a special server edition, it might be the easiest to setup and maintain. And if it doesn't work as well you would like it to, you can always switch.

Re: Linux Game Server

Well, assuming you're going to use Ubuntu, I would start by downloading the Server Edition. Follow the documentation available for it, and once you've set it up, then proceed with the Star Craft server documentation (assuming there is some). As usual, Google is your friend.

Re: Linux Game Server

OK, listen here. The only reason why I posted that question here was becuase I wanted to know how to do it, how to make a game server in linux. I didn't post that question here becuase I wantd a _______ to tell me to download an ISO, burn it on a disk, then install it, and then use google. Like I've said in the past before, google won't help you find an answer to a specific question that you have, it will only take you to sites like these. From now on, if you're not going to post anything helpful, don't post anything at all.

Did I misread? As for setting up Starcraft, look at this:

Re: Linux Game Server

Start as in setup the actual game server not the distro. Most of those links dont answer my question. Most are how to install starcraft on linux.

But don't you see? Click on the first hit from Google:
http://koti.mbnet.fi/~hoppq/sc-howto.html
After you do that, you'll have a Starcraft server, which, as far as I know, makes your Linux server a game server.
EDIT: This might also be helpful: http://www.dougtheslug.ca/Games/SC/ServaqTut.html
