To get UT to work you need the windows version of the game. Then go to http://www.lokigames.com/products/ut/ and download the Linux installer. Follow the instructions for the installer and voila. I found that for some reason the game didn't run if I installed it off the CD, or if I copied the files on to the hard drive under Linux. What I ended up doing is copying the files under windows and then installing off a fat 32 partition which worked fine. Other people I know have been able to install straight off of CD. go figure :) To Q3A to run you also need the windows version. Then go to http://www.quake3arena.com/ and download the latest Linux point release. Install the point release (this had me confused for a while, the logic of installing the update first then the game is weird), next go to the q3a cd and find the pak0 file (if I remember right, it's the very big pak file on the cd) and copy that into the base3q directory. and voila, it's frag fest time ;) This will works exactly the same for team arena, only difference is that you need to copy the pak0 file off the team arena disk ;) Personally I haven't found too much speed increase between windows and Linux on my machine. Lower end machines Linux is faster, especially with quake. I haven't had a chance to try it networked yet either, will do that this weekend.
