There are 2 outcomes:

   - works fine under linux emulation. Frag on!

   - works, but eats up your processor. Sitting completely idle, the 
q3 server will show a 1.0 workload. Other servers running on the box 
will be lagged. Happens on Linux servers too, so it isn't a FreeBSD 
issue.

The latter is much more common unfortunately, and is what happened to 
me. We don't run a server because of it. :-(

On a slightly different note, i tried to install the game on my box 
(3.2-stable). Got it running, in a window under enlightenment, but I 
don't even get 1 FPS. The cursor won't even track without a 5 second 
delay. I've got a P2 266 with a Voodoo3. I followed the directions by 
Mark Taylor to a T. :-( Anyone else?
