The unbelievable has happened! That’s right: Epic has released a beta version of it’s Linux Dedicated Server tools for Unreal Tournament 3! The first hundred-or-so linux dedicated servers have already been spotted online, so be on the lookout for those proper low pinging servers! Hopefully this release will help some server admins, and players, make the jump to UT3.

If you don’t quite understand the advantages of Linux Dedicated servers over Windows Dedicated servers; it’s simple really. Linux Dedicated servers tend to be more efficient, running the same games with lower pings for players and at lower bandwith costs for server hosts. Aside from the obviously improved pings these servers bring, another advantage is that linux dedicated servers tend to be priced lower. This means clans should soon be able to rent their first low-pinging linux servers for UT3 - and get that clan scene going!
