An Italian website which focuses on maintaining and updating drivers for the 3dfx Voodoo video cards have managed to get DoomIII running at very reasonable frame rates.

After months of hard work the Gentoo Foundation are proud to bring you Gentoo 2004.3. 2004.3 brings you several new features, such a much improved genkernel (for automatically building a working kernel) and cascading profiles. On the Pegasos side of things the LiveCD has become easier to boot, you simply type "boot cd boot/pegasos" in SmartFirmware to get going.
To upgrade an existing installation simply run "rm -f /etc/make.profile; ln -s /usr/portage/profiles/default-ppc-2004.3 /etc/make.profile"
The complete release information can be found here.

OpenPictureSpace displays a directory full of pictures in a thumbnail list view. It can displays jpeg, gif, png and iff ilbm pictures (including HAM and EHB specific Amiga modes). Other image viewers build a n x m grid with thumbnails. In contrast this soft scales images only vertically and places as many images into a line as possible. So the screen space is optimized for a maximum number of thumbnails.
