[wplug] Distro survey

[bgtrio at yahoo.com]

I'm using redhat9 on several of my boxen, including my dell laptop.  The 
hp box I gave to my niece and nephew is running debian, because it's 
stable, it runs better on the 300mhz pentiumII in that box, and I don't 
want to have to mess with it.

I'm a gamer too.  Winex has solved pretty much all my problems in that 
arena.  Neverwinter nights runs pretty well under linux, as do all of the 
id games, ut2003, and all the other games that the icculus people have 
ported/fixed up for the linux community.
