Binaries installers are available for Solaris and will soon be available for linux. See Downloads.

CDless Installer for 0.13 - Friday, July 12, 2002
There's a new installer, this one does NOT copy the data off the cd. It instead gives you instructions for installing the data yourself. New to this installer are the missionpacks, and ctf. This installer does not include Q2Max, as it is still buggy. Get it here.

New Maintainer - Saturday, March 16, 2002 Hello, this is Brendan Burns, I'm going to be replacing Relnev as maintainer of Quake2 on Linux. Many thanks to him for his dedication, energy and coding to get this project started. Hopefully, I will do as as good a job.

Quake2 r0.9 - Sunday, March 10, 2002
Quake2 r0.9 is my final release. No major changes, as usual:

+ Swapped SDL buttons 2/3 to be correct.
+ Big Gun+save game crash fixed.
+ FreeBSD support. (Hampton Maxwell)
+ Mouse buttons 4/5 supported (sdl only). (Angelo Grossini)
+ IPv6 support. (Florent Parent)
+ Documentation updates.

Announcement - Sunday, March 3, 2002
Saturday, March 9, 2002: I plan on taking the current CVS code, testing it a little, compressing the source and uploading it here as quake2-r1.0.0.tar.gz. This will be my last release, as I was only expecting to make two or three releases before a more ambitious group would have superseded my efforts. I still hope somebody will come along and fill that role.

If you think you have a clear, attainable, goal for this project and definite that you are not going to give up after one day/week/month, why not check out this and this?
[Update, a new maintainer has come onboard, welcome Brendan!]

Important Note: Any installer which includes the demo levels for Quake II must not be redistributed on any physical media. The demo levels for Quake II are still copyright Id Software. Anyone wishing to distribute the levels on physical media must contact Id directly.
