Backport
At the time of this writing (which is September of 2008), many servers support, and request the installation of, an upgraded version of the tremulous client dubbed "the backport". This client includes back-ported updates from the, as yet, unreleased next version of the game. Typically, the backport is not required to play fully, but is required to obtain administrative privileges in the game.
For easy installation, here is a script that will backup your tremulous file as tremulous_old, and install the backport:
cd ~ && wget http://tremulous.tjw.org/backport/linux/tremulous.x86 && chmod +x tremulous.x86 && sudo mv /usr/lib/tremulous/tremulous /usr/lib/tremulous/tremulous_old && sudo mv tremulous.x86 /usr/lib/tremulous/tremulous && sudo chown root:root /usr/lib/tremulous/tremulous
