Are you using the Xwindows environment or text commands?

will i guess my idea is to have a friend host the game on his linux box (server purely accessed through text) and then access it through putty from my computer at home (vista) for playing and configuring the server. sounds possible?

is there a way to install dlom 3 on a linux server that does not have all the graphics packages etc. for actually playing the game, and having it run a server? if so how do i do it?

I don't think you need a special install. Just run the game with either -xxx or -T parameter, for less graphics or for a Text-only mode. The first works if the computer has OpenGL but not power, and I think the second would work even without OpenGL. You'd just have to know exactly what you want to achieve, and do all that via the command lines.

You don't need graphics to install / run the dedicated server. You unfortunately DO need to have the graphics libraries installed. See that other thread that you created in MP/AAR.
