   you can play quake live in your linux box if you run a virtual machine runing on top of it, and run quake live in that.

   Thanks for letting us know

   Seems like you wrote a little article about it as well. Gonna hot link it for the other curious minds:

   The only solution to playing Quake Live for those of us who run Linux is to ether dual boot or run in a Virtual Box. Unfortunately my experiences wasn?t so great, as it ran at diabolical fps. That was mainly due to the fact that i was running Windows XP in Virtual Box OSE on my HP Pavilion, which comes installed with Vista. Anyone who ever tried to downgrade from Vista knows how much of a pain it is to find the drivers. Nvidia don?t make the specific drivers but the OEM does for the specific laptop. The HP website doesn?t offer XP drivers for the graphics card, only Vista ones and all my searching the Internet didn?t come back with a decent solution. None of the half dozen drivers I tried worked. So I blamed not having a graphics card driver installed, the reason for not being able to play it without rebooting my laptop.

   Support for MAC and LINUX is in development. It will be there at some point, just not yet.

   I have 4 cores of Xeon E5630 @ 2.53GHz running Linux with NVidia 5600 GTX, Quake Live in full graphic mode is running perfectly – FPS never drops below 125.
