Well, I've finally decided to make a complete switch from Windows XP Pro to Linux, and get all my games running using Cedega. Now, I'm not a Linux newbie or anything, I run a couple of servers and whatnot, but what distro do you think is good for Linux gaming?

Any, since non of them are tweaked for gaming or just run a lighter window manager.

hmm. linux is only the kernel, and i see no way to tweak it for gaming... apart from perhaps a larger stack size for the 'phatest' graphic drivers.
a distro is a collection of packages, and all desktop distro's include x and a desktop environment, which is about all you need for gaming really. cedega isn't free, thus it couldn't really be included in a distro without heavy licensing...

No need for tweaks because like I said, a lighter Window manager is the best thing for games since some only take 50mb and lower of your memory. It's really upto the Kernel developers and nvidia/ati to help that, kernel developers it's the last thing they would do because of the far more important issues like stability, fixes.

ok heres the deal I teast al the distros and with gaming in mind cedega is great on mandrake10.1 warcraft runs flawlessly on it if you want unreal 2003/2004 linspire is the easiest to install otherwise you are involved in all the unmounting cddrives ect suse 9.2 is good too you need your nvidea drivers up to date use point 2 click to get cedega version installed and its easy after that.
