My curiosity has gotten the best of me and im thinking about switching to linux...but before i take the plung i wanted to find out what kind of support it has for gaming. I play lots of online games (i.e. BF2, WoW, ect.), does linux support games like this or should i stick with windows XP?

Support for linux?

It's more of a matter of if the games support linux rather than if linux supports the games. The gaames you listed are all windows games, so they won't run natively under linux. It might be possible to run them using wine or cedega, but they may not work 100%. If you play a lot of games then you should probably stick with windows. If you still want to play around with linux then you can just get an old computer and put it on there to play around with.
cedega is great.. wow works fine with it, eq as well.. believe hl2 is also working under it. Check it out at www.transgaming.com
If you are new to linux I recommend using mandriva (used to be mandrake), as its very complete, easy to use, kinda bloated distro, but a nice transition from windows.
