Glide is the library for talking to 3Dfx video cards (Voodoo, Voodoo2,
Voodoo Rush).  If you don't have one, you can stop reading now and just use
X11 Quake or SVGAlib Quake instead of GL Quake.

Check for Glide RPMs from:  http://glide.xxedgexx.com/3DfxRPMS.html

P.S.  There is a great step-by-step article on getting Quake going on Linux
in the January, 1999 issue of Linux Journal.  You can also read about the
process in the HowTo at http://www.linuxquake.com/
