This list is by no means all that a HLDS will run, I have left out a few Valve games that I have never played and do not see a large player base but you can still install them. This includes Day of Defeat, Counter Strike Source, Day of Defeat Source, Team Fortress 2, and Left 4 Dead 1/2.

That's right, in case you didn't read the title closely this tutorial will be using Linux to run the server.
There is a lot of setup that goes into a HLDS and then you have to add that to setting up a Linux server. This is going to be a long and tedious tutorial. This tutorial will focus specifically on setting up a Counter Strike 1.6 server using Linux OS. Welcome to my second tutorial about setting up a Half Life Dedicated Server, HLDS for gaming.
