Just something I'm going to do for now on is post the update notes after I update the servers incase anyone has comments on it. Hopefully if other admins update they do so too.

This one "Fixed Linux servers not properly reconnecting to Steam when they lose their connection." should be of most help to us I think.

I find the new hats...lackluster, the server has custom hats that are way more interesting and better crafted than the ones on the update...and the winner got a hat with a ribbon?. come on that looks like a pot with a flower...but I still love Valve.
