I know at least one or two users here have a Raaspberry Pi already, I just got mine yesterday. Let this be a thread where we can discuss projects or troubleshoot problems etc.
Saw this today, seems pretty cool even though I don't think the Pi is really made for games.

How to Install Quake 3 on a Raspberry Pi
Compiled version:

Figured I'd share it, since it takes like an hour to compile it on the Pi.
In case you don't know why one needs Quake 3 specifically for Raspbian, the Raspbian distro has hardfloat support, speeding up the system nicely.
The downside is the package support, every program needs to be compiled specifically for Raspbian.
Performance is a bit better than on default Debian, but it throws about a million errors when you start the game. Worked fine on my Pi, though.
Works like all the other pre-compiled Quake 3's, copy .pak files to base and start the game.
