Merged in existing article from the KB with some minor changes.

EDIT : Why did the thread start with pkk's name? /huh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":huh:" border="0" alt="huh.gif" />

It's been doing that all day ImmZ. No idea why but it's picking random people for the thread starts.

Can the contents list be changed so instead of Step 1, 2, etc it says what the step is.

Will see what I can do. Some of these steps are one liners, so it may look weird.

It will look better than a table of contents with "Step 1" "Step 2", etc that don't give any information about what the step is.

So like

Update Server
Download
Install
Copy Artwork

etc

Might want to keep Step: in front of the description if that looks better

Step 1: Update Server
Step 2: Download

Updated the formatting with new template awesomeness. However, I think some of this material is outdated or unclear (for regular servers: how do you handle what cores your server will run and what will not? Do I need to add the 'Newbie Server' games?; for localhost servers: do I still need to install it as a service?; for Hamachi servers, do I need to do anything special to run one?; etc.).

Maybe multiple guides would be easier to follow.
