I've finished a VERY early version of Quake for Linux (xquake) that

supports 3rd person view (like Tomb Raider, Crusin' USA, etal.) You can

position the camera behind the player and see him as he runs around

capping people.

Anyway, if anyone's interested in trying it, you can download it from

ftp://128.111.78.175/pub/quake/
