Teamspeak Server
Battlefield 1942 game server
Forums related to said game server.
my personal email
and a mailing list for the forum staff here

I've used FreeBSD for years, but due to the game server and voice server requiring Linux and Linux emulation on the BSDs being rather shotty still, it now runs Debian.

Previously it ran Win2k server before the game in question had a working server for Linux, and sported uptime of 2 or 3 days on average, while getting broken into by warez kiddies by ftp exploits 3 times (nothing says "hack me" like an unfirewalled windows server with about 10 megabits of bandwidth going out of it).

The day a stable Linux version of the game server came out it was switched to Debian, and now I log in once a month to run security patches, otherwise the server is forgotten about
