If you don't know something, but just "believe it to be true" you should qualify your comments with "I am not sure, but I believe it to be the case". You download the Linux version of the engine from idSoftware and use the data files from the CD that you buy in the store. And the Linux versions of Quake I/II/III are not only free as in beer, but you can also download the Quake I/II source code if you want to modify it. No credit cards, no signing up for anything, just download it like you do any other Linux app.

YOU obviously don't have a clue here boy. go to
http://idsoftware.comclick on downloads, look on that menu on the left and just TRY to click on source code. notice how you CAN'T
i managed to get a copy of the Quake1 source because one of the guys i met in a forum works for ID software. the source doesn't have makefiles or anything so it's not like you can compile it without having taken a class on programming for Linux.
on a second note, i actually own all 3 version of Quake, legal copies on CDs i bought from Future Shop and Radio Shack. all 3 versions of Quake install through a .exe file, in fact, Quake1 is simply 1 file with the .exe extention and it extracts into all the needed files. none of the Quake CDs have any instructions for Linux either.
so what was it you were saying about me, the own of all 3 Quakes, not knowing shit about Quake?
btw here is what happens when you try to download Quake2 for Linux, this link is from PlanetQuake
