Building a TW Quake Server

Most people don't know me by my real-life (RL) name... but some may recognize my gaming name: SeeMeRun[F8S]. I began playing Quake around the middle of 1997 and was fortunate enough to meet a person by the name of Thomas Bescalia - he also goes by the gaming name of FaTe[F8S] and is the leader of the clan FaTe's Minions, which is where the gaming tag "[F8S] comes from (it stands for FaTe's). Thomas introduced me to the gaming world of Quake, specifically the ThunderWalker version of the game and I was hooked!

Most people who have been playing First-Person-Shooter games for a long time will remember one of the first, really fast action, games called Quake (or also referred to as Quake-1). This game was developed by Id back in the mid-late 1990's and to this day has not been equaled in "Speed" of the game. This blog is about creating a TW Quake 1 server - the trials and tribulations and the reasons for the different configuration decisions taken in both hardware, software, Operating System and specific Quake server.
