This is an easy way to start your linux dedicated server. This simple perl-script can set all command line options and save them.
This should be a little tutorial how to set a sufficent dedicated server.

How to install:
0.)Login as root
1.)Unpack all the files to your Q3-directory (In this directory must be linuxq3ded).
2.)Open a terminal
3.)Write "chmod 700 q3a.pl"
4.)Write "./q3a.pl"
5.)Have fun

Options:
1) Dedicated
If you have an internet connection and you want to report this server to ID,
than choose 2. If not, choose 1
2) Memory Allocation
Sets the Megs of RAM to be filled with your dedicated server. It's common that you choose
16 megs for a normal deathmatch game and 26 for capture the flag.
3) IP
Do only use this if you want that the dedicated server uses another ip.
I wouldn't use this
4) Port
Sets the port your server runs on. This isn't an important option, I won't use it.
5) Gametype
Here you can choose the gamecycle-file. If you want to learn more about them, 
read the manual on your Q3A-CD (if you have one).
6) Maximum Amount of clients
Sets the maximum amount of clients. Choose 8 - 16.
7) Password
Want a private party? Choose a password!
8) Hostname
Here you have to enter Cooler Quake 3 Arena Server, because Q3A is the best game ever.
9) Internet-Master-Server
If you have chosen "Dedicated 2" than you can enter here a different server your dedicated
server is reporting to.
10)Maximum Rate
For all the poor players who don't have an ISDN or ADSL connection, set 8000 to 10000 (0 is
unlimited)
11)Cheating
There is someone who cheated by editing his pak-file! Don't let him play by choosing 1.
0 sets this feature off.
12)Map
Choose a map! (q3dm17 is the jump level known from the demo version).
13)Reset
You have done many mistakes ? Try this option
14)Writing config file
Writes your changes to a file with the extension .q3a.
15)Reading config file
Reads a config file with the extension .q3a. It verifies that the config file has the right version.
There is one config file with this package: q3dm17. So if you want to start a LAN-Server with
q3dm17, than try it out!
16)GIB IT!
Frag all what isn't you. Starts the dedicated server.
17)Exit
Only loosers are using this option
