I'm thinking of trying out linux and gaming. Like ut2k4 and cedega (winex). Whats the best distro for gaming?

Tweakin said:I would say Gentoo for two reasons, 1) because I am biased , and 2) because it is really easy to get and install games. The latter isn't the same with all other distro's.
ATI does have some serious issues with their drivers currently, but with my nvidia card, I get comparable results between linux and windows in UT2k4, NWN, and AA. Infact on AA i can usually get around 5fps in a 20 player game more, probably do to the big difference in free memory (launching a game in windows as opposed to launching a game in twm/X). I OC my card in both Gentoo (nvclock) and Windows (Coolbits).
Gaming in linux isn't as easy as in windows, but it really isn't too tough.
