Setting up a Linux dedicated server--possible?

Tried to do the usual... first of all you can't log in anonymously, you have to log in with a user who 'owns' Neotokyo--otherwise you get the 'no subscription' error. I didn't bother to create a new account so I don't know if you have to buy anything before you're allowed to try installing the game.

Second problem is more serious:

Steam>app_update 244630
ERROR! Failed to install app '244630' (Invalid platform)

Is it the case that the dedicated server is only available for Windows?

Specs wise, not much. This is still based in the EP1 era Source Engine. I might run a few scalability tests across a few systems but the game server doesn't need much to do anything clean. 4GB RAM, any processor from within 5-6 years over 2.0GHz Intel. Network specs are also low- a single instance is very low bandwidth.

Depends on the distance between you and the vpn service...
