I, like so many other posters here, are feeling "retro" and playing Q1
again. Man some of the advancements are awesome - there is soo much eye
candy now

I recently got a donar box (PII 350/132 MB PC100/7 GB hd) for a *nix
platform (currently RH 7.3) and at the moment it is serving Q1 with the
MVDSV Quake server (0.177 or whatever the latest ver is) - running fine -
very sweet, actually. RH handles the load remarkably well. When all
testing is done I intend to eventually trash the GUI and login/execute from
command-line only.

I've also downloaded a few QW clients - but - there are a few servers and
clients out now. I'm not sure what the de-facto/most popular is? So far
MVDSV looks like a lot of fun, server side, with demo recordings from any
player and such. However documentation is scarce - can any one point me to
some command reference?

I picked MVDSV simply for fun - if there's a "better" (ie more secure)
server, I'm open to suggestions. I have someone lined up with a 10MB fibre
phat pipe offering me free hosting, so once this box is built it will be up
for a while - would be nice to get it as good as possible before it leaves
my house.

And for the client-side, I've been messing with QuakeForge, as (so far) it
seems to have a lot of eye candy (compared to QuakeWorld 2.3). I've heard
some good things about fuhquake - better client? ...again, suggestions?

I'm after as much documentation as possible as well...it looks as if some
of the new server binaries have some extra parameters, but documentation is
hard to find.

Any help or advice is greatly appreciated...I'll be happy to post the IP
once it's up ...the target is for late spring, if not earlier. Oh and
I'm partial to the Matador mod BTW, so that's what it'll be running.

Thanks in advance
