HLDS is software that is freely distributed by Valve, the creator of Counter Strike 1.6. The second part will focus on installing HLDS. Even though the initial set up is hard and maintenance could be a pain I hope that I will be able to show you some tools that makes Linux much easier to run then a windows server could ever hope to be. There are two major reasons besides the cost factor Linux offers greater customization and Linux uses less system resources. You may be wondering why chose Linux over the more easier OS like Windows XP Pro. My distro of choice is Linux Ubuntu Server 10.10 but any server distro will work. The first part of this tutorial will focus on properly installing and setting up a Linux server. nothing, I see I can't scare you off so easily, guess you are here for the long haul. Still here I see, guess command lines are not that scary after all. So if you are afraid of command lines now is a good time to head on over to my first HLDS tutorial that uses everyone's favorite OS, Windows XP Pro. That's right, in case you didn't read the title closely this tutorial will be using Linux to run the server.
There is a lot of setup that goes into a HLDS and then you have to add that to setting up a Linux server.
This is going to be a long and tedious tutorial.
This tutorial will focus specifically on setting up a Counter Strike 1.6 server using Linux OS. Welcome to my second tutorial about setting up a Half Life Dedicated Server, HLDS for gaming. So you have been playing Counter Strike for a while and are thinking about setting up your own server.
