yup. Most of the documentation is painfully old, but the www.tldp.org
HOWTO is quite good. I've bundled all sorts of stuff into
/usr/local/games/quake2 and just copied it around from machine to
machine for years. Only big annoyance is that q2 doesn't really do map
rotation very well, so I have to use rcon to manually rotate maps :-(
If you want to play and are network-wise close enough to San Jose for it
to be worthwhile, let me know. Q3 is a lot of fun too, but I really like
the look of q2 with GL lighting. Oh yes, and this is helpful for those
who want to do their own:
