There is also the supergamer DVD that will run as a live DVD if you are 
antsy about installing Linux without knowing a lot about it. I actually 
bought the DVD but it's open source and you can get it off P2P. It comes 
with America's Army, UT2004, Doom3 and a bunch of other demos already 
installed. You can run an NVidia video driver off the DVD and get great 
performance for a live version. (Not to mention the author is a great guy 
and answers his forums quite regularly) He gave me one-on-one help several 
times and in my book that's pretty classy.
Here's what's on it:
