XQF is a program that offers similar rcon control from Linux. The "apt-get" command above will automatically install XQF on Ubuntu. It will install two packages: > qstat > xqf The download is small (586kB, less than 1MB!). Once installed, a short-cut should appear under "Games" in your Linux desktop menu. Alternately, you can launch xqf by typing "xqf" at a command prompt or console window. Background of HLSW: So lets say for exampl...
