LOL, naw I have a couple games on my work PC (Windows) but my professor don't give a f***.
Just ones I could find a crack for because its a pain in the ass to remember bringing CDs to and from work all the time.

But my work is the kind where you are either working and don't have time for game or you might as well drive home and take the rest of the day off, so I go home when bored.

Red Hat/Fedora is very user friendly, and with everything installed (including dev tools) the total space will be around 1.5GB. As for memory, 128 is fine and you shouldn't need any more then that.

http://www.linuxiso.org/ <--- is your friend. Check the forums and get the links/guides there.

Red Hat 9 with a nice KDE gui is usually what I recommend. Other distros would be Mandrake, Debian, and SuSE. Look into those, nice features and support.

exactly, i use Redhat with KDE, its really nice, just really hard to use for beginners.
