 3dfx has just released (a few hours ago) the Glide libraries for
download.  i haven't
played around with them yet, just ran the little test programs.  So all
you folks
waiting to buy a 3dfx card till there was Linux support, go out and buy
one now!

Now I just have to wait till someone ports GlQuake to Linux... :)
