Summary: re: dependencies
Comment: while i do not have this edition of the game (and its out of stock right now), i might offer a possible solution to the dependency problem... be gentle, i had no chance to try it with this constellation :)
redhat offers several compatibilty rpms which include libraries for use with programs linked against older versions. installing these does not alter your current libs. the packages are named compat-*.rpm, you will probably need one or more of *-libs-6.2-* , *-glibc-6.2-* , *-libstdc++-6.2 ...have a lot of fun...
you certainly will, once you get it to work...

Summary: Dependencies
Comment: I tried installing this on a redhat 7.2 distro on a dual celeron 533 with a voodoo5. For some reason the sys bitched and moaned about me having the wrong version of glide (2x i think it was), but I have the lastest glide pre-installed with the latest DRI package (Q3 and Return to Wolfenstein run fine). The game never installed for me. Because I thought it was a problem with the voodoo5, I tried the same thing on another system with the exact same hardware except a geforce (all drivers installed, q3 working properly) and it didnt work again with the same error message. Im probably slightly above a linux newbie, but unless you know something I dont (email me at (...) if you do) you may not be able to install this package and will be stuck with a coaster. I only gave it 3 stars because dammit, its quake :)
The q3 linux version on the other hand is perfect, no problems on the install, runs perfectly, and you can just download the windows q3 point release and use it with the linux cd on a windows box, 2 for 1...

Update:
Posting this review made me give it a shot again and I found that you could install if you say you dont have rpm on your machine when it asks, then it installs everything but refuses to run. Software quake (squake) runs, but the mouse freaks out when i try to move it. That might not be a universal problem tho. X11 quake runs ok. GLquake still refuses to run, after reading some newsgroups it seems like the glquake executable is compiled with real old libs and if you have the newer libs it wont work. I dont want to overwrite the newer libs with the older and break all my other games so until I figure out how to install the old libs somewhere without breaking the whole sys I will.
Quake is good, but dont buy this thinking you can play it out of the box as easy as a windows cd (like I did), everything in linux unfortunately requires a lot more work to finially get working (if at all) :(

Summary: One of the best!
Comment: Amazing, This game runs just as good or better than the windows version of the game. I have corel linux deluxe os and I had no problems with installation. Smooth, never had any slow downs on my 200 mhz machine with 64 megs ram. Highly recommended.
