Quake2 Linux LAN Setup

[bclampitt]

my teacher has told our class that this quarter... our project for a grade will be to either setup a quake server to play over the network against each other.. or to setup a web server and host like a message board and what not.... so.. is there anyone here that can help me out in setting up a quake server with linux?

links, tips, tricks, etc.. all welcome.. http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif
