XP or Linux - Page 2

FYI, the developers of wine, the free package on which WinEx was based, *are* working on a port of DirectX, so Linux gaming should improve... sometime

In the meanwhile, there's always the free CVS "bleeding edge" Version of WinEx - no guarantees like the commercial Version, but you can't beat the price

I would go with XP Pro

XP Pro. Has the best featureset and UI I've used with any OS, and that includes MacOSes. Of course, XP Pro is what I've grown used to.
Win2k is another good option, but its not as good as XP in my opinion. Don't buy XP Home.
If you do go Linux, use KDE UI

you could always run linux off a cd

Or get a good boot loader and install both

Or even better.

Take your old system and put linux on it and build it up as a server... Or Myth TV box..

Then xp on your new box for gaming.

as for linux package. suse mandrake etc... are good distro's
