If it wasn't for games, I'd switch to Linux in a heartbeat. Unfortuately, if you enjoy PC gaming as I do, Windows is the only choice. Some companies do release linux ports of their games but it's not that common.

I've recently resized my primary XP partition to use only half of the C:\drive so I can install Linspire 5.0. I really want to try it but am hesitant to spend 50 bucks on something I may not like or can't use because of driver issues, hardware compatibilty, etc.... Wish there was a trial download someplace.

Ditto for me also.

Why don't you try Knoppix? It's a Linux distro that you burn onto a "live" CD and run the system from your CD drive.

Other people take the dual-system route.

I have been looking at Linux and gaming as well.  Here are a few resources on the subject that are probably worth taking a look at:

Gaming on Linux - Will It Ever Become a Reality?

TransGaming Technologies - Cedega Allows Window-based Games to Run on Linux

TransGaming.Org Games Database

I thought I would ping you, rdb3 to ask if you are familiar with the Cedega product?
