Hi to all Neowinar's out there. My name is Arvin I from Utah 26yrs. Working @ Hill AFB Utah as a DoD.
I've been a fan of Neowin just didnt have much time to hang out here. Btw I need help on which Linux is the best out there for playing games like RO and which Linux is best for server. Im looking on learning C++/Java/HTML also and I want to use Linux as my main OS. Any help would be nice. Thanks
Email me for any comments because I rarely check in the forum but I check my email everyday. ^_^

Hi.
Best Linux for games? I'd have to honestly say XP.
Other than that, any Linux that you can most easily use to install wine or Cedega (is it still called that?) on would do just fine. Ubuntu is a popular choice. But, if you are a serious gamer, you will have less work if you dual boot with XP.
Best for server? I would probably go with whatever closely matches what you have experience with, or want to become accustomed to. For example, if you work with Red Hat servers, then Red Hat or a clone like CentOS or WhiteBox may best suit you. If you work with Novell, then something along the Novell/SUSE line.
Neowin has an great *nix area, of which I support and often frequent, so I can vouch for the help you will get there, especially starting into Linux. There are some very technical experts, too, but as you would expect, the top 2% of experienced people are only online about 2% of the time. Google may get you quicker answers for very specific questions.

Linux for games...I'd say anything really, maybe Ubuntu or Xubuntu if you want more resources for games. If you want a seriously light Linux for running games, consider Fluxbuntu.
Welcome to Neowin! I've never heard of anyone doing any sort of gaming on Linux before by the way.
