Im sure someone can give advice on loading it to a shell . Im a non nix person so I wouldnt have a clue either .
As for the rest Unreal has a good set of Docs and an FAQ . Both of these will show you how to set Unreal up . The .conf for unreal is a bit daunting at first look but stick at it . It really is worth the effort to read everything that comes with it . It makes your life and ours much easier .
As for versions always use the latest version which atm is 3.2.2 and available off the main website
http://www.unrealircd.com . Older versions are not supported so always get the latest version .
As for poor english there is an international forum where you can get your posts answered in your own language . And you should see my English after a few beers :p . Good luck and welcome to Unreal
