Of your 3 questions, the first is unanwserable in this context. The latter two don't matter at all.

Not many games are supported by Linux

yah you're right. but other than gaming, you can pretty much do everything in linux you can on windows, although a few apps are windows-only.

The system in my sig was built to be 100% compatable with Linux. Also be aware that nVidia have better Linux support than ATI.

Also if you want to learn about Linux then go to www.linux.org and see the courses section. Also it can't hurt to install it to have a go, and Knoppix will boot from a CD and so it doesn't even need to be installed if you just want to try Linux.

All Linux is dude is a OS, you can do pretty much whatever you want. You dont need special hardware.

I don't think you understand him. What he means is that the parts in his system are known to be very Linux-friendly.
