Quake, QuakeWorld and Quake II are tremendously popular 3D action games
developed by
id Software.
If you're not familiar with the Quake games, there are better places than
this HOWTO to learn about the basics. See section
Other Sources of Information below for a list of some of
these better places.
This document assumes you have Linux up and running, and in some cases
the X Window System as well. X is not required to run these games, but
it's a nice way to test a basic installation. If you are not running X,
you may safely skip over any references to it.
Sections of this document that were updated in the last revision
have a ** after the section heading. Sections updated in the revision
prior to the last are marked with a ++.
This document certainly does not contain everything there is to
know about Linux Quake. With your help, though, we can bring it closer
to that ideal. We want this HOWTO to be as complete and accurate as
possible, so if you notice mistakes or omissions, please bring them to
our attention.
Questions, comments, or corrections should be sent to Bob Zimbinski

Constructive criticism is welcome. Flames are not.
