Running a game server can be a crazy experience. As online games become more popular, more people are running game servers for fun and for profit. Unfortunately running a server to host your favorite game can be a huge challenge. Buggy server code, crazy problems deep down in the kernel that effect game play, asshat players trying to hack your server, and dealing with other server admins are just a few issues you'll run in to. And, honestly, the internal workings of game servers and how they interact with the hardware and software is fascinating in its own right. This talk will cover all aspects of running your own game server. You'll learn about kernel interrupt handling, remote server administration, game hacking, server statistics, and the culture of running game servers. And maybe, just maybe, there will be some TF2 playing.
