Hi Penbrock,

I'm a Debian user/admin from way back.  Debian is known for stability and 
robustness but not for having the latest packages.  The Crossfire server 
in Debian is way behind the current stable release.

As much as I think Debian rocks I've never used the Crossfire server built 
into Debian.  I always compile from source.  I think the Crossfire package 
in Debian would be fine for someone seeing if they like the game but once 
you get into it I highly recommend building from the latest stable source 
tree.

Cheers,

Rob
