Quake II Servers ++

Linux's strength as an internet server make it a perfect platform for running an internet Quake II server. This
section will touch on the basics and Linux−specific aspects of starting up a Quake II server. Try
http://www.3dgw.com/hellsgates/serverguide.htm for more detailed Quake II server setup information.
Listen Servers
You can start a Quake II "Listen" server from within the game via the Multiplayer menu. This allows you to
host a game and participate in it at the same time.
To start a Listen server, start Quake II, bring up the Quake II menu with the ESC key, and select Multiplayer.
It should be pretty self−explanatory from there.
