Linux Client Unlikely To Ship With Quake Wars Release
In a post on the Enemy Territory: Quake Wars forums, Timothee Besset of id Software says it's unlikely the Linux version of the game's client will be included with the initial retail release.
Referring to the difficulties involved with getting gold masters completed, Besset said, "I will not place additional strain on the procedure by trying to squeeze my additional set of files on there."
However, he did ensure that a Linux client is coming, and that it will be of top quality when it's released. "Once these things wind down (in the upcoming weeks) I will start working specifically on the client," he wrote. "But fear not, Nvidia [http://www.ati.com]have expressed interest in getting a Linux client early, so they can review how it performs and get their drivers adjusted. When we release, we'll release a high-quality product, just like we do on Windows."
