[olug] Gaming server for LAN party - suggestions?

[Vincent.Raffensberger at dtn.com]

Don't forget Wolfenstein:Enemy Territory!

There's a Linux port (client and server) and it's free.

"Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory was originally planned as an add-on for 
Return to Castle Wolfenstein, but soon became it's own game, a separate 
entity with full single player, multiplayer, AI opponents and teammates! 
Well that didn't happen and what we got, while less than planned, is 
amazing...and FREE! Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory is a free, stand-alone 
multiplayer only product, which means it's for online play only, but all 
you need is what you download. You do not need anything else to play 
Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, than what you download for free. No Return 
to Castle Wolfenstein, no additional file packages or monthly charges, 
just one phat lump of action, and did I mention it was free? (Sorry but 
people still can't believe it).
So you're going to need the download, and we've got that for you in the 
available flavours, Windows and Linux."

servers/scripts if you'd like......
