In a recent forum posting id Software's Marty Stratton offered a status update on the Mac and Linux versions of Quake Live. The game is "very close but not quite ready for full release on the main site," and Stratton asked posters to offer their system info if they are interested in participating in beta testing.

Seen lots of questions about Mac & Linux versions and their status and why they weren't mentioned in the release on Tuesday. Both Mac & Linux are being tested with the closed beta group right now, so they are very close but not quite ready for full release on the main site. If you use a Mac/Linux system and would like to potentially test, please reply to this post with your system info (hardware, OS & version, Processor, Memory, Browser & version). We likely won't select everyone to help finish up the testing, but will select people with systems that fill holes in our test group.
