This tutorial will be covering the main aspects of configuring a Linux Quake2 Server, including installation of all the updated server files, compiling a new q2ded binary, and installing LOX mod. Most importantly we'll cover aspects of Server security including cheat/bot protection and creating a different user to run the Q2 Server as. Many old tutorials run the Server as the root user and this is a path to the darkside. If there was one single thing you took away from this tutorial, I would hope you DO NOT RUN THE SERVER AS ROOT! There are a couple of security flaws in Quake2 and minimalizing the risks are the number one priority. I hope this tutorial will help the Quake2 Community to build, configure and operate 'safer', smoother running Q2:LOX Linux Servers.
