You can download directx 8 for windows 2000. Some games come with
the option to install directx 8 for you, e.g RTCW.
Interface is one thing, performance is another. If comparing the
speed it which the computer processes my stuff...I would say
windows 2000 is faster. You can read some of these bench marking
test on the web.
As for Linux, you do not need to get those that requires you to do
lots of configuration. User friendly ones like Mandrake linux will
do the job. ngkaihoe in the forum is a Mandrake Fan. You can ask
him for advice pertaining to this.
