Linux Server possible?

Recommended Posts

I already have a few dedicated linux servers that I use for hosting databases and websites. does arma2/dayz have a linux server program I could run on one of my servers that isn't used very much?

I been thinking about opening my own server but the server hosts out there charge stupid amounts for what it is you are getting and figured I could piggy back one of my existing servers.

Unfortunately you cannot run a native linux server at this time without using WINE (which imo, sucks)

I posted a thread about my investigation on why there cannot be one yet here http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/74723-linux-server/#entry710312, as you can see its the ARMA2 servers fault for not allowing extensions yet.

We should all gang up and give the arma2 devs a giant poke to implement them :)

Blah, yeah WINE wont even work for me as I don't even bother running a GUI on my servers, just ssh into them and manage from the shell. Never tried using the Arma2 server so not sure if it even has/requires a GUI but I am assuming it does.
