What an interesting hybrid. I had been looking at it as all or nothing. Either the games would be IP/host operated limiting a server to about a dozen games running. Or would be PBEM allowing hundreds of games but the headaches involved with getting everyones initial files setup.
I like this. My linux server could actually have a dozen signups running at one time with no problem. Once the game is setup then it could shift to being a PBEM game.

Question: Linux supports PHP right?

Yes. It supports pretty much anything that isnt actually locked in as being a windows only thing.
I was thinking of looking into things like "movable type" which allows an easy web interface for file uploading. That would simplify things alot I think.
