Q3apd should be able to run both parts of one machine as well, using the 
network loopback for communications form PD to Quake. There are Gentoo 
packages of Quake 3 Arena, so I am pretty positive that you can get it 
running on any distro as well. Some friends of mine are experimenting 
with q3apd right now, so maybe I can post a detailed report later on.

While the server end can be Linux, I agree that if you make a client 
app, it should support *all* major flavors... mac, linux and widoze 
alike. Wouldn't want anybody to feel left out ;-) That's why PD would be 
nice, instead of SC, if DSP needs to happen on client side. I suppose 
you could use CSound as well, but from what I hear it is a bit 
outdated... just gossip over the fence of course, haven't really gotten 
my teeth into myself.
