Default Re: Best (CD Bootable?) Linux Distro for Dominions?

I like Knoppix in general, but tend to keep my games on my lingering Windows partition. I did test the Doms 1 demo on linux (Mandrake 9.2) and found it to be surprisingly slow - way slower than on windows on the same, admittedly old, machine.

This seemed odd as it has always been the other way around for me - programs that ran on both platforms were generally way faster on Linux than on Windows. But Tuxracer also crawled when I tried it, which makes me wonder in Mandrake haven't messed up the graphics drivers somehow??

Anyway, we'll never get linux geeks to agree on the 'best' distribution. At least we can all agree that vi is the One True Text Editor.
