High precision model format

[Seth G. <sga...@li...>]

I have started implementing the high precision model format system in
QuakeForge, but I only got the loading part done before I started to feel
the full goshawful nastiness of Red Hat 7.2. (freezing up probably caused
by the 2.4.7 kernel, even making it difficult to correctly install a new
kernel.)

So if you try using a 16 bit precision model like the one found at
http://www.planetquake.com/gg/v_rock2a.zip it will just look like a
regular model in software, and every odd frame will look like junk in
OpenGL (The extra precision data is stored and loaded like extra frames)

Any suggestions for what Linux distribution to try next?  I tried Debian
but it's really too difficult to install with my limited understanding of
these machines, so far I've had the most success with - get this - Corel
Linux :-\  I'm thinking about trying SuSE.

One way or the other I should have things up and running soon and make the
high precision model rendering happen.
