Hi, fellows!

I have two Voodoo 3 computers, and I am interested in instaling some Linux distro on them.

First one is P3 600/66, does not go to 900/100, only 75 MHz, with VooDoo 3 TV 3500 (blueBox). I have some stronger processors in stash somewhere, but the board does not boot with Coppermine procs. I shall see to this more in few days, but this is my wife's comp and I can do it not very often, as she wants her Zuma and Lines all the time which is to say Windows.

For this one I would like to configure Linux with Wine(x?) to allow her to play her games and get rid of MS from that machine.

So, any ideas and suggestions? I am not familiar with Wine, since I am not a gamer.

Second comp is more difficult. It is MSI 6168 Voodoo 3 2000 integrated with 8 MB. I have seen a thread about almost the same model of mainboard here, from some Packard Bell model. But my one is not Packard Bell, the colours on the board sinks and connectors are not the same, and graphic memory is the same (EliteNT). At the moment I am not able to make it work with any of FCPGA adapters and procs. It boots only with Slot1 processors. I think that I don't have the proper adapter. So for the time being, I am interested in installing some simple Linux Distro on it and use it mostly to admin my domains, probably not very demanding, some blog or forum and mail server.

 Today, components for these old guys are more expensive than new models, so I will not use much memory, probably not more than 128 for each. Don't want to invest in those, since I already have P4 3GHz and Athlon 64 3000+ machines, which are cheaper to put more mem for better gain.

  Also, someone said that ASUS P2B works with almost anything. I have P2B-D (dual) and two slot1 P3 processors, one 450 MHz and the other 500 MHz. I wonder what should be smarter, to configure that as a server, and try to find a better FCPGA adapter for this integrated MSI 6168 Voodoo 3 board, or try to play more with adapters and make a pair  perhaps with two FCPGA adapters and ASUS? But I don't have a Voodoo board for that one. I would have to rely on some other older AGP card for that, or even PCI which I have a truckload of old ones.

  What I am most interested in is what to use for best result with Voodoos on Linux? At home I have Fedora 4, Mandriva 2006, Suse 9 & 10, Free BSD 5 - some basic install, only 250 MBs, Slack 9 and Debian 3 "Woody" and some Ubuntu, as well as some older distros. Net is not a problem, at least not big, I am on a cable 256 flat non-stop. Did not take much time reading the Forum, but I realise some people here wrote some nice stuff for Voodoo, on Linux as well.
