This morning I installed Quake III Arena on my Mint 11 installation.
I really forgot how much I sucked at playing this game, but it is amazing how much better the graphics and effects are on the X1000 than on my x86 Mint 17. Pain in the butt getting it installed, amazed that it works at all and so well. Nice, very nice.

I will do that, but know that you must have the commerical CD to do the install.

Installing Quake3 on Linux ppc.
You need the commerical CD to do this.
1. Using Synaptic Package manager install
a. quake3
b. quake3-data
c. game-data-packager
d. ioquake3
2. Open a terminal and cd to your Download directory. cd ./Downloads (on my computer).
3. Now download a file by typing;
wget -c ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/quake3 ... -3.x86.run
Thats a 30 meg file.
4.Create a new folder in your home/user and name it qu3.
Put the CD in the drive and make sure its mounted. Mine mounts at /media/cdrom0.
5. Change directories again to qu3. cd /home/username/qu3
6. Now we make a .deb file with;
game-data-packager quake3 /media/cdrom0/baseq3/pak0.pk3 ~/Downloads/linuxq3apoint-1.32b.x86.run
7. Become root using su or gksu plus roots password
8. Install the .deb file.
dpkg -i quake3-data_30_all.deb
Hope I did not miss anything.
Screenshots? They are huge, and I don't have a place to put them off site.

I tried one of http://www.masscool.com/product_detail. ... =138&id=92
Installed Mint 11 on a SATA drive, and it works just dandy.
