Linux Newsgroups might be helpful to you http://www.linux.org/docs/usenetlinux.html[^]

http://www.sourceforge.org[^]    http://www.gnu.org/[^]    Those might be a good place to start to get some code, although the same caveat for CP applies there as well: not all of the code is of stellar quality, but there might be servers or C/S based projects and code available for reference.    It might be easier to identify things that your server is using that may (or may not) be specific to Win32 (kernel-object based Events, named pipes, etc.) and determine the *nix equivlent(s).  For example, *nix has pipes (FIFOs), Pth has events and threading, sockets are everywhere, etc.    Dunno why someone would vote your post down, we are all professionals here (uh, right?), and the mere mention of Linux is not a valid reason for a vote of 1.    Peace!

try experts-exchange[^]. The freedom to ask unlimited questions is limited to premium members; but if you don't want to spend money, earning it by answering some questions isn't difficult.

To get going download the chapters to this book - the authors made it (the book I bought) open source. Will tell you pretty much everything you need to get going, provided you have managed to perform a full install on say Fedora or something similar. http://www.advancedlinuxprogramming.com/downloads.html[^] It not really advanced, it teaches someone who knows C++, how to porgram for Linux and Unix in general for console style apps, from: using an basic editor to create a .cpp and .h file, how to compile, and link with gcc how to debug using gdb how to create make files to make builds easier posix system concepts (processes, threads, syncronisation, sockets) and lots of other good stuff in easy steps. If you know C++ you are safe with this.

The one at the bottom could get you started in general but probably not with the specifics.

Seriously, the Troll Slayer suggested an alternative, use WINE to run your windows apps on Linux, if the performance would be acceptable.

This statement is false.

Not sure what you are asking here. Are you looking for help on porting your server to Linux? Or are you looking for sites that might have example code?

You could use Susie Linux - it comes with Mono built in.
