[ILUG] Quick Quake Question

[Martin Donlon]

Why not download Quakeforge? Can't remember the url but Linuxgames would
give it to you. A lot more optimised than poor quake.x11. Get the SDL one
with proper fullscreen. Also has plenty of new sound options. And if you
have esd installed it'll use than.
