I have just upgraded my Linux Mint 7 system to a 2.6.33 vanilla kernel with SMP and PREEMPT built in. Feels good man, I built the nvidia 195 drivers with the downloadable installer by hand and they worked first time. It was quite easy as I followed a guide here:

This made it quite clear, I merged the AppArmor patch into the kernel before building and I am running it now. Too easy, you do not need Gentoo to be able to build your own kernel. And I just finished playing through thespire2.wad and I have to say it is awesome and totally worth playing, I loved the final battle opening & closing the door and blasting monsters. And walking over hundreds of corpses to get to more monsters. Classic and cool. But DV-Zero.wad runs like shit in prboom-plus GL, but that sucks arse anyway, thespire2.wad would lag sometimes, but only for a few moments whilst it loaded in a new area and then ti would be fine.
Oh, and BTW nothing happened with my 4chan experience and my facefail page is back up.

All Linux is more or less the same. It's just a compilation of packages. Use whatever distro's easiest to get going on your hardware.
