I agree with you there, it is a bit of a hassle after compile "make install" would be nice - still a "walk through the park" compared to the windows nightmare I had.

No, actually I what meant was an EQEmu distro like I said. I remember some how-tos about making your own distro based on some of the easy frames that are out there. I mean, in essence it's adding a few special setup steps to a standard Debian or such install to configure things properly. Granted I'm glossing over a lot of details, but if someone had the experience they could probably do it relatively easy.

Although RPMs aren't a bad idea either. I'm personally running everything on Windows, but that's because I'm a Visual Studio junkie.

This guide is perhaps better with a Ubuntu distro ? more easy for linux newb ? no ? Ubuntu is light and easy to understand for a windows user.

I use Ubuntu as both a server and client (Cedega). I've found that the existing documentation for server setup is pretty good, with the only possible confusing thing being following along with the database changes in the changelog. Compiling the source, etc isn't difficult, except for silly problems with the makefile (expecting gmake, eqpacketcollect...).

Maybe the best idea would be a script that tries to keep up to date with the changelog/database structure. Idk about dpkg, but wouldn't portage be able to handle something like that?
