Actually I am not for sure. I never really got into fancy 3D 
video cards much. I am not a gamer. I don't even run X on my 
Debian box and RedHat works fine with the Matrox card. But I 
did a quick look at google.com/linux and came across this: 
http://www.linuxlookup.com/html/guides/3dfx.html it may be 
of some help, I think linuxgames.com has some linux/3D info, 
also check out the XFree86.org site. Its not really so much 
the distro as which version of XFree86 it comes with. Full 
support "right out of the box" for fancy cards is pretty 
rare but with some reading and a little work you should be 
able to get it working.

I just looked at linuxgames.com and it talks on the front 
page about the Voodoo cards.
