Actually, Cedega is pretty darn good (games run better on my brother's Linux partition than on his XP partition...we're talkin' about a 10-15 FPS difference using the same settings. He also regularly games through a network with a couple of other computers that run XP). Problem is, Cedega requires a subscription, which'll run (if memory serves) five bucks a month. Linux is also much more stable and secure, but it does, usually, require some knowledge of console operation.

Suse Linux is a great distro (I'm actually going to switch to Suse as my primary OS in a couple days). Linux is pretty easy to learn when you dive right in, but I don't recommend immediately commiting yourself to a Linux distro, or Linux in general; you may find that you prefer Windows.
