+ETQW Dedicated Server and Client for GNU/Linux x86
+==================================================
+
+Important system requirements:
+------------------------------
+
+You need a low latency kernel for optimal performance (this applies to both client and server installations). Make sure your kernel
+is configured with CONFIG_HZ_1000=y. You should also enable other low latency settings, such as the various preemption settings.
+
+Installation:
+-------------
+
+You need a retail copy of the game to install the full client. The server package comes with all the data unless you download a -nomedia
+or -update package, in which case you are expected to copy some files manually. See in the '-nomedia installers' section below for a list
+of files and checksums.
+
+To start the server, use:
+etqw-dedicated
+To start the client, use:
+etqw
+To start the client with renderer threading support, use:
+etqw-rthread
+
+Start the server like this:
+./etqw-dedicated <parameters>
+To execute a server.cfg config file:
+./etqw-dedicated +exec server.cfg
+
+Start the client with the etqw script
+
+The start script makes sure the game binaries will find the dynamic libraries in the same directory.
+
+Minimum system requirements:
+----------------------------
+
+- GNU/Linux x86 system
+x64/amd64 systems supported through 32 bit emulation layer only
+BSD systems through Linux ABI compatibility
+- Pentium(r) 4 2.0 GHz or Athlon(tm) XP 2000+ processor
+- 512MB RAM
+- Kernel 2.6, configured for 1000Hz tick and other low latency settings
+
+3D acceleration (not required for server):
+   - SDL >= 1.2 [1] ( >= 1.2.10 recommended )
+   - latest OpenGL drivers - correctly configured!
+   - nVidia(r) GeForce 5700 (except LE and VE)
+   - ATI(r) Radeon 9700
+
+Audio uses OpenAL only (not required for server)
+
+Multiplayer:
+- Internet (TCP/IP) and LAN (TCP/IP) play supported
+- Internet play requires broadband connection
+
+Ports:
+------
+
+In order to host an Internet server, the following ports must be open on your firewall:
+
+Incoming:
+UDP: 27733 (use +set net_port on the command line to change this)
+UDP: 3074
+
+Outgoing:
+TCP: 3074
+
+-nomedia installers:
+--------------------
+
+The installer will copy the files from the DVD for you and install extra patch content.
+If you get the '-nomedia' installer you will have to copy some pk4 files to base/ yourself.
+That includes files on the DVD, and extra patch files (which you may have from the Windows patch already)
+
+Here is the current file list with MD5 checksums:

+Mon Mar  3 13:52:36 CST 2008
+- 1.5 beta setups
+
+Fri Jan  4 12:37:31 CST 2008
+- 1.4 setups
+- SDL joystick support
+as for the Windows version there is no GUI to configure, you need to read:
+http://community.enemyterritory.com/forums/showpost.php?p=55937
+listController shows the joysticks that are bound
+you can also set in_showJoy to see joystick buttons and axes printed to the console
+tested with one xbox 360 controller
+other joysticks and multiple joysticks should work fine, but is untested
+
+Wed Dec 26 16:08:30 CST 2007
+- support for render threading with a new binary: etqw-rthread.x86
+this requires a modified libSDL however (1.2.12), which is provided
+the patch to the source modifications is provided as well
+in this binary, r_displayRefresh can be modified (still defaults to 0 however)
+
+Mon Dec 17 10:48:44 CST 2007
+- r_displayRefresh is not supported on Linux (SDL provides no support for this)
+updated the cvar to avoid confusion
+- cleaned up some input code hacks in SDL that are now covered by better i18n support in game core
+- bind more keys through SDL (print/menu/pause/scrollock), distinguish left/right on shift/ctrl/alt
+- support the lwin/rwin key binds (official gamecode may not allow binding them yet)
+
+Mon Dec  3 12:56:00 CST 2007
+- fix crash if mic failed to init when trying to read sound (Alsa backend)
+
+Wed Nov 28 11:35:07 CST 2007
+- support r_swapInterval cvar to control vsync (was not hooked up before)
+only supported in SDL >= 1.2.10
+the attribute reporting for it seems broken on most distributions
+- add s_alsa_mic to use a different Alsa device for the mic input
+- add sys_nohup cvar to ignore SIGHUP signals (if you ever need it)
+
+Fri Nov 16 09:55:43 CST 2007
+- new client build, r5

+
+Thu Nov  8 09:30:39 CST 2007
+- fix showFPSBandings crash, com_showFPS needs to be enabled
+- make SIGHUP shutdown more explicit, as it's not a crash
+but rather a requested shutdown (controlling terminal exited)
+
+Wed Nov  7 09:57:28 CST 2007
+- set r_useFBODestinationBuffer to 0 when detecting an NVidia card
+(required for 5700 series otherwise performance degrades too much)
