Just wondering cause it is areally cool mod and i would like to run server for linuxi

No

Beware of Knifa. Run, hide, take cover.

You have been warned

I think there is a Linux version in the works, don't quote me on that.
I know I'm asking for it so go ahead

the sooner the better, the only reason that i do not run a full time server is because any good server runs linux

You can use the windows dedicated server EXE together with a recent version of wine (www.winehq.org).
I did that once and tried it together with SF. The only problems you will encounter are :

- you have to install IE6 (no joke). Steam uses the Windows crypto-API which gets installed by the IE-installer. But to get the installer to work is quite problematic, the best way is to keep wine in 'win98'-mode (if you know wine, you know what i mean ). Of course, if wine can access a windows installation you may be able to skip this step.
- you will need to have an X server or VNC running, because the windows ded server, although being an console-app, won't run with wineconsole.
- because you have an X/VNC server running AND have wine doing its job, your server will need some extra horsepower. My duron 800 was quite overloaded with 6 ppl...

Alternativly, you could run cedgar (I think that's how its spelt). It's reported to run Steam very, very well.

Just a sidenote : cedega (www.transgaming.com) (former name : WineX) is a commercial fork of wine.

So, just pick you flavor... both seem to work
