I am working on the client version.
I always thought the hard part was getting the server running, so that is what I tackled first. To be honest, the Linux Quake client isn't that great IMO. Also, this CD boots into text mode, there is no Xwindows on it. Therefore, having the Linux client on there wouldn't be very helpful.

What I am trying to do now is to have the CD boot up running an ftp server and contain the Windows and Linux clients. Then you could boot up one server and have everyone download the clients from it. You don't even really need to "install" the client on Windows, you can just unzip it to a directory and play it from there. But I understand that it is more obtrusive than booting and running it from a CD.

Mabye I'll add Xwindows back in so that you could use the same CD for everyone. But then you would be limited to using the Linux client, which I don't really care for.

I am also checking into what other servers/clients could be included on the CD. If anyone has any good suggestions (and tarballs of working servers would be helpful) just drop me a line: [email protected]
