Is it possible to create your own server on the xbox360 ?
No. There is nothing in place (unless I've missed it) to host a game of BF3 on your own server. This is for the best as hosting one's own server opens up the potential for great abuse.

After Ryzom's source code went public I've been dying to get going on one of the fan-run fan-made Atys-like (or stranger) worlds that were sure to follow.
But I couldn't (and still can't) find any. :/
Are there any such servers running at all anywhere?
Currently I never saw any unofficial Ryzom servers but a contributor created a .iso with ubuntu and ryzom server all together and ready to use so it's now easier to setup and run an unofficial ryzom server, no need to compile or configure: http://dev.ryzom.com/wiki/ryzom/VMUbuntuCoreServer

I've got a minecrack inventory editor for Macs running on local maps but what about for the 'classic' server setup? There are clearly one-per-user inventory files in the server world directory but my InvEdit won't open these files, so I'm looking for a tool (ideally mac-native) that can deal with these files.
Thanks in advance.
What are you trying to do? If you want to cheat items, you can just use the /give command to generate item or block.

XAseco is a system that runs alongside a TrackMania server and allows control of the server via chat commands and activities. It's a great system, but it runs on PHP. I'd like to write plugins in C# rather than PHP.
Where can I find alternatives to XAseco, or a full detail of the TrackMania control API?
ServerMania?

I have been searching for a guide on how to set up a Left 4 Dead 2 Steam dedicated server on a clean debian install.
But I haven't found one that worked.
So if anyone have successfully set up a server on debian could you please make a simple guide or link to an existing guide.
First of all install steam, or the Half Life Dedicated Server (a.k.a. hldsupdatetool, see This site)
wget http://www.steampowered.com/download/hldsupdatetool.bin
Install it ./hldsupdatetool.bin after chmod +x if necessary. It will put steam in the current directory.
Check the tool is at the last version with ./steam (multiple times if necessary, until it displays the help message).
Then the install a game just do well with
./steam -command update -game "left4dead2" -dir .
(It will install l4d2 in the current directory, creating left4dead2/ subdir.)
Hint: the game names can be changed to another game. See the list with ./steam -command list
Bonus: run your server in screen (within the good directory)
#!/bin/bash
screen -d -m -S l4d2-server ./srcds_run -console -game left4dead2 -log on -hostip 88.xxx.x.x -hostport 27016 -clientport 27006 -nohltv +exec server.cfg +map c5m1_waterfront -autoupdate

I would like to rent my own dedicated-server which I can run my own game servers on, rather than buying a server specific for one individual application or game.
Any suggestions of what I should be looking for?
Provided you have the tools to install the game server you want (programs from the games sites) and you know what operating system it requires, you can opt for any hosting platform like any other website.
Be careful on the banswidth you are allocated and the machine specifications. Depending on the number of player you intend to host games for, it may require a certain amount of power.
You can also have a machine of yours in a datacenter if you have enough money and wish to invest in that.

I was planning to set up a Windows dedicated Team Fortress 2 server using this configuration guide and the linked TF2 Windows Dedicated Server page from the official team fortress 2 wiki.
However, I don't see any mention of item drops or any server cvars I should leave alone to avoid breaking them.
So is there any special configuration required (or any settings to avoid, besides the obvious sv_cheats 1) for a dedicated server to allow players to receive item drops?
Edit: Added links to pages now that I have enough rep to do so.
I believe item drops are enabled by default. When I create a game or start offline practice on my home computer, I don't need to do anything to start receiving drops.
