You can either dual-boot XP and some Linux Distro, or you can run XP as the underlying OS (so that graphics intensive games will play fast) and run one, two or five Linuces (plural of linux) using Sun xVM Virtuabox.
I have Vista64 Ult and Ubuntu 64 8.10 dual-booted on my desktop… but I also have openSUSE 11.4 and PC-BSD and XP (which I use to run non-game 32bit programs that don’t like Vista64) as guest OSes using Sun xVM Virtualbox (which is free)

That would suck. You want games to run on the naked host machine… for speed. Unless you’re talking about a checkers game or solitaire etc…

GNOME is less graphic-intensive.
It’s all a matter of preference really. I prefer using Beryl of KDE, but many of my friends prefer GNOME.
“zeldaparty8″ hit it on the head though.

I forgot to mention this:
Gnome is more similar to mac, while KDE is more similar to Windows. They both work fine and I think a windows user can use Gnome perfectly fine.

Can you give me some more detailed instructions or some resources on how to do this. I’ve been loading opnSUSE 11. in VBox but I’m not sure how to install it. Do I need the DVD (larger version) or stick with the livecd one? Once installed, can I dual boot or can I only run it from virtualbox?
Sorry for all the questions.

I started using 8GB for this demo, it should be enough for my purpose. Linux desktop maximum took around 3GB with fresh installation without data.
