Does anyone one know how to set up the renagde linux server? I downloaded the files and I have linux installed I just don't know how to get it to work. Would it be easyer to install wine?


I think the distrobution of linux I have is Slackwhair I could be right my firend removed the red hat ad put it on. he said it was better.


Also how menny more people do you think I could hold I have ADSL and in windows XP dedicated I can have 12 people what would it be in linux.



Thanks for your help ...

The Renegade Linux server is designed to run on RedHat systems. There is a version for RH 8.0 and one for RH 7.3. The thing that makes them specific to those distributions and versions is the system libraries they need. If you have a RH 8.0 system and the RH8.0 Linux FDS (LFDS from now on), you can type:

ldd renegade_server_RH8.0

(or whatever the filename is for the RH 8.0 executible... I forget).

This will give you a list of the system libraries that the exe needs, along with their version numbers.

Now, if you want to run that exe on a linux box of a different distro, you need to get those exact versions of those exact system libraries. It's possible to arrange for that, but usually vastly simpler to just install RH 8.0.

Once you have the platform correct, running the LFDS is as easy as typing:

./renegade_server_RH8.0

(again, whatever the actuall file name is)


As for how many people it can handle - Renegade is mostly limited by available bandwidth. ADSL is going to handle about 12 people, regardless if its a Win32 or Linux version of the FDS running.

The LFDS offers another platform for you to run from, the '3l33t' factor, and the added stability of running on a Linux system, which is usually more stable than a Win32 system (in my experience, at least).
