Voodoo....

Nice name, i was hoping for something else though when i read it. Not that im disappointed. What i would like to see is a distro optimized for glide and voodoo cards. That would be awsome, composite desktop through glide =) and maybe a 64bit version of that same idea for us that have one of the most recent 3dfx cards still compatible with some 64bit systems. Now that would be cool.
Well, i guess i might be the last person that still uses those cards for my everyday work, i might even call myself a collector.

If there allready is such an distro/os that can do this, please let me know.

I may tell you that I've got a machine running with a 3Dfx Voodoo 3 GPU. No fan, no noise. It was the first machine developing OpenGL / GLUT stuff on was quite fun. Allthough it might be considered as a collector's item, it still serves nearly every purpose the average home user might think of (except playing the most recent games, of course). Ah, did I mention it? No fan, no noise. :-)
