i dont understand what it means when it says save the files to srcds at the start.

and how the server actually works

Well after you've downloaded the dedicated server software from here (for Windows), you would follow Drocona's excellent guide (here) to install and set up your server.

The server can function on your LAN (the computers inside your house, school, office, etc.) or on the Internet where they can be accessed by the public. People would then connect to your IP address (explained in the above guide) to play whichever game you are planning on hosting.

Computer requirements aren't extreme. Mine far exceeds my needs with a Celeron 2.4GHz processor and 1GB of RAM. You will need a few GB free on your HD for the installation of all of the necessary software.

I would recommend reading through Drocona's whole guide and giving it a shot. If you get stuck at a specific place then we can help you with the problem areas.
