What was the linux distro that specialized in gaming/geared towards gamers?

I cannot remember what the distro was called, i read about on digg during the past year but cannot find anything about it. If someone knows of the linux distro for gaming please tell me, otherwise just list the distros which best support gaming. One of my friends asked about it and I said I'd find it for him.

You might be thinking of Games Knoppix, which is a variant of Knoppix. Here's a URL if you want to check:


http://www.games-knoppix.org/





Otherwise, I'd recommend you simply install one of the Debian Linux distros, such as Knoppix or Ubuntu and then just look on the Debian web site for the lists of packages and look under games. You could then install the ones you wanted to look at. Good luck.
Reply:It is called Gentoo Linux, named after one kind of penguin.
