[plug] Quake Fest requirements

[Phillip Summers]

I am interested in attending the Quakefest. What equipment and software
would I require. I have never played "multiplayer" quake before, would I be
wasting my time due to my inexperience?

I have Quake, 4Meg S3 video card, Cyrix 133 machine (W98 installed), 64mb
ram.  Have a PCi network card but its currently not installed. Is that all I
need?

Do I need to be running Linux + Quake Linux? I don't have linux installed on
this machine but on my i386sx25.

Anyone on omen.net.au want to walk me through a multiplayer game sometime
during the next week? (quake.omen.net.au)

Regards Phil
