The best linux for starters?

[Midgar]

Did all of them come with the mods disc? The version I got did. Aw crap, the only game I bought that I didn't need the CD for and I LOST it.
James, did you ever try to install it on a Linux box?

Yes gaming on linux is a little harder. You're not able to play all the games as on linux. But there ARE possibilities.

As I mentioned before, see this link, and links for other articles on bottom of the page:

There are quite few games to start with.

Then there is emulation. DosBox for old dos games, Wine for windows games, and if Wine has problems you can try a Cedega emulator which should work a lot better.

You can try to look here http://kyberia.sk/id/3393621/ to find some more links to games (mind the different language).

true, but not for starters. something with kde on top would be more useful for a newbie (as it's pretty similar to windows, so it's not too frustrating to get around it).
