I picked Red Hat because most of my Linux friends use Red Hat distribution. This way, I can always get help if I run into problems. I could have gotten Mandrake, but none of them use it. When I am ready, I will try other brands.
I would try picking a distribution if you have friends who use a popular Linux distribution.
It would be nice if someone could take the 1993 demo and make it a newer version. Higher resolution, works in the newer versions of Windows, compatible with today's sound cards, resampled music, etc.
That is how exactly I felt with Second Reality demo when I first got my 486 DX2/66. However, I didn't get a GUS sound card though. I had a SB 16 ISA card. It still sounded great. I even showed this demo to a few geeks and friends at my university. Most of them loved it.:)
In my opinion, ModPlug Player sounds better than any of the other players for MOD, S3M, XM, IT, etc. I have a small collection of my favorite tunes on my personal Web site.:)
For the PC platform. If you still haven't seen it, then go to Hornet.org and search Second Reality to download the two demo files (don't need the S3M music files). Obviously, you will want to use MS-DOS boot and configure your EMM386 for EMS (if I remember correctly).
In my opinion and others, this is still the best PC demo of all. Even the music was awesome at its time. I ran it on my 486DX2/66 and dang it was cool:). You can easily find a better quality MP3 of the song.

"Indiana Jones 4: The Calgary Sun talked with Steven Spielberg's producing partner Kathleen Kennedy who had some disheartening news for those eager to see a fourth Indy film: 'The truth is there has been a lot of discussion amongst all of us connected with the film but to be honest there is no script because there isn't even a writer in place. It sounds like a slam dunk to do another Indiana Jones but you have to get everyone available and committed and then you have to get a screenplay that excites everyone.

I am not alone with this problem. Everyone who lives in Hacienda Heights and Rowland Heights, CA are having similar problems:
1) Very slow speed, especially during peak hours (i.e. analog modem speed during peak hours). I was told that there are only six T1 lines in this city.
2) Too many cable modem outages.
3) Horrible technical support (nothing unusual for any companies).
4) None of can get DSL because we're too far. IDSL, satellite Internet, etc. are too expensive and slow (i.e. gaming).
5) The problems are getting worse.
6) Adelphia@Home is still adding new subscribers. My cable friends and I recently got flyers and postcards.
I was told Adelphia is going to discontinue @Home and switch subscribers to its PowerLink ISP service. I doubt that will help a lot.

I have been unemployed since March 2001. It is almost three months. All the phone calls and e-mails I got were recruiters from job agencies. No interviews yet. I have gone to job fairs, daily job searches, etc. I have three months of unemployment payments left.:(

No, my old Diamond Stealth64 3000 card (4 MB VRAM; PCI) is using v3. I am wondering it is pointless to get the newer v4.x version. I will if I get a new video card.

Screen Shot. However, it is not real :). Saw this on Shacknews.
I think I remember that scene. I meant making a new version of the whole thing :).
In case anyone missed this parody demo back in 1996. Search 14ndreal.zip on The Hornet Archive. Here's the info:

PC Demo Fan Club. A bit outdated if you click on the old pages link at the bottom. However, it still has some good reviews from old PC demos.

Why would anyone want to do with a 128k upload cap (assuming @Home cable modem service)? :)

If there was a Linux port of Half-Life, then this upcoming voice feature would kick butt. We wouldn't need these voice utilities.

Off-topic, this upcoming Spectator feature would be sweet as well.
