I wanted to have running Quake3 on my Debian GNU/Linux just like I have it running on my FreeBSD system thus.
1. I've downloaded linuxq3apoint-1.32b-3.x86.run .
2. I executed :# chmod +x linuxq3apoint-1.32b-3.x86.run; linux32 ./linuxq3apoint-1.32b-3.x86.run

 Note: make sure you have installed linux32 and ia32-libs packages!

I tested directly executing # linuxq3apoint-1.32b-3.x86.run, but that was a failure, since the self extracting binary could not recognize the amd64 system architecture
After installing it via linux32, all went smoothly. Next I needed to copy all my game pak files into

/usr/local/games/quake3/baseq3

. Remember that here it's absolutely vital to have q3config.cfg file to your baseq3 directory. To make your life easier I've tarred the Quake Arena pak files, so you can freely fetch them via this baseq3 link
Now untar the newly fetched baseq3.tar.gz to /usr/local/games/quake3/ Last step in the installation is to link the game binary to your /usr/games, I did this via
ln -sf /usr/local/games/quake3/quake3-smp /usr/games/
In your case it might be not necessary to link quake3-smp if you're not running 2 Core CPU.
Hopefully, Now with God's grace you should be having a fully functional Quake 3 Arena installation on your Debian Unstable GNU/Linux.
Enjoy!

I've noticed an ex-colleague as well as a friend of mine's recently started company who does provide just Wonderful Web Development, SQL database and data processing System Administration services. The new company is named dreamupweb . The whole project looks quite promising. The already completeled projects do testify the good quality work of the company.

I was examinining my Desktop machine which I haven't played with for a year and I found a nice dir "from_jivko". Jivko is a friend of mine who played in a nice old school band in Dobrich. The band is called Alegoria. That was awesome times, probably because this was the times of my youth, I would hardly forget all the nice Rock concerts organized in the "Mladezhki Dom" (Young's House), a place left from communism dedicated to be a center of development in the spheres of art, music, dance etc. for the teenagers and developing youth. Alegoria was a band who played actively in music genre of Punk/Rock in the period (1997 - 1999), it's possible that there latest concert was in 2000. Even though the band does existed for so little time. It was quite productive and their sound I would call unique :). In the same period there was another interesting band playing in Dobrich, their genre was mostly similar to Nu metal (Coal Chamber and alike), as well they played sort of mix of Coal Chamber and Rage Against the Machine , the letter band was named BFD. Last year a friend of mine Jivko who was a member of Alegoria playing the drums. Sent me an Archive which included some of the Alegoria songs as well as if I recall correctly one of the tracks baked by BFD, the archive also included also an old school bulgarian in the punk tradition called Abort.
Anyways Download the Alegoria songs here , the rest of the Abort songs could be found in here . I enjoyed a lot listening to this nice old crap! Hope somebody out there would enjoy it too.

Today I went for the church feast of Nativity of The Theotokos (ever virgin) - a title assigned to our Mother of God. Herein I include a bit more about the feast. And yes, I have to say OrthodoxWiki is a great resource for Orthodox Christians.
