I've just installed the latest NVIDIA drivers for Linux and I want to try them out. I have Q3A installed in Windows.

Is there a Linux binary out there somewhere that I could install on Linux without having to buy the whole box again? I remember with Q2, there was a free binary available without the maps so that you only had to buy it once (use the maps from the CD you bought).

There is a linux install on the same cd as the win32 install.

Ermm no there isnt,but if your still interested heres the general process.
Make a q3 folder, such as /usr/local/games/quake3, or what not
make a /baseq3 folder, in that
copy everything off the CDs baseq3 folder, into this one
Download the latest point release, install that, might have to do chmod +x to it for it to be executable, havent done it in a while.
Then you have to copy your GL drivers to your quake3/ folder.... and since I havent used Linux in ages, I really cant remember what directory theyre in.. or for that matter, what theyre called
you might just try as root
updatedb
locate *GL | more, and scan what comes up for what looks like GL drivers
