RTCW on Wine questions.........

I hope you know that ID are making a linux client.
But they will not release a linux only version,
just release the binaries on their site.
So goto ftp.idsoftware.com and look into /idstuff/wolf/linux
to keep updated if they have released or not (or checkout
www.linuxgames.com).
