Here are my server specs, so you can get an idea of ​​what kind of computer you run the server, of course, more is better so just keep in mind that there are factors that come into play when you are hosting dedicated themselves server. As it up / down speed, processor speed, RAM, hard disk space.

AMD Athlon 1.2ghz

512MB PC-133 RAM

Linksys 10/100 NIC card

60GB Western Digital hard disk

Ubuntu Server 9.04

First things first, log in as root (if not already ).

I

Next, scroll to "/ usr / local / games" directory and called HLDS. This directory will hold all the files to your server. After a couple you will have to "hl2" folder and "cstrike" folder. We will only deal with the cstrike folder to that.

cd / usr / local / games

mkdir HLDS

HLDS CD

Now you have to take hldsupdatetool.bin of steam. This is the main install files for steam.

storefront.steampowered.com / download / hldsupdatetool.bin

The bin file is downloaded we need to do the enforcement, so that we can install a vapor. To make an executable file the.bin

chmod + x hldsupdatetool.bin

then execute the bin file by issuing the following command:

. / Hldsupdatetool.bin

Take a waiver

To type

will now extract and steam readme.txt file in the directory. Execute the file so that steam can be updated it will take several minutes. (You may have to do it twice)

. / Vapors

Now we have to say what game we want to run. For how we choose the "Counter-Strike Source ".

. / Rolling command update-game "Counter-Strike Source"-dir.

Now you have the default Counter Strike Source server.

CD cstrike

/ maps / - where all the maps and waypoints are stored

/ mapcycle.txt - a list of cards that is

so now we have a base install that allows a little more fun and automated.
First, if you do not already installed, install the package "screen ".

apt-get update

apt-get install screen

screen will help you run your dedicated server, while configuring and testing settings. We will be back with the screen at the moment. For now, just install it.
Next we need to configure our server.cfg file. I made a general server.cfg files for download by anonymous users, etc. You can download it. Copy this file to your server and put it in "/ usr / local / games / HLDS / cstrike / cfg /" folder.
We are now ready to start Counter Strike Source server. Enter the following to get the server running.

the

. / Srcds_run-console-game cstrike + map de_dust + maxplayers 16-autoupdate

after the Ctrl-Ctrl-D (optionally to be separated from the screen)

Now run the CS client goto LAN and wait for it to appear on the list. Double-click on it to connect. Password = thisismypass (if you use my server.cfg file)
Now you have a vanilla Counter Strike Source server up and running. I would suggest if you open your server to the public for the installation or "Mani_Admin_Plugin" or "SourceMod" and will allow you to manage your server from the game and set up many more options and fun stuff for your server.
