And can I run Linux games (such as Quake 3 Arena, Unreal Tourney) in BSD with Linux-3dfx drivers? If not, where can I obtain 3dfx drivers for my voodoo 2 card for BSD? 2) This weekend, I am deleting my Windows and Linux partition, and BSD is going on the whooole hard drive.. all 8.4gigs :) lol. Just wondering if there is anything anyone suggests before I take my step into a non-windows person :) Thanks mucho for everyones continuous assistance with my many questions. ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Daniel Stehm Va.
