For the game im making i was wondering if there is any proper way to make room browser server and dedicated game server(my game is casual game).. and I want to run dedicated server on the FreeBSD or Linux platform(I prefer BSD)..

Which code is better between TGEA network code and TNL code? are they same code ?

If you are writing a very specialized server application that does not need the full engine (TGE/A/B), then TNL is a good option. It has some advanced encryption features that are not included in the engines and is designed to be implementation friendly for a number of engines. It is also under the GPL so you can create your server application for free.
