    Vadakill has a great site with many "walk-through" installations prepared - both Windows and Linux.

    Check it out first, then come back if you have furthur questions.

    I assume you are talking about your steam account. To create this just make a new steam account by following the directions, but keep it simple. For example, use your normal steam account id with "_server" attached to it. Makes it easy to remember.

    So for example, maybe use "sandwitchead_server" - don't use capitals/non-alphanumeric characters. Keep it simple.

    Yes, keep it simple; I use an e-mail addess for my server username as I explained in the guide.

    As for using DOS; command line is what I'm used to. You can certainly use a gui to create an account for your server, but I think it's easier to explain where information is going if you can see it all written out.
