Good place to download linux?

I have been trying today to set up my Linux box. I chose Suse 9.2 as the version, because I read that was good for games, and the sole purpose is to test out the Linux version of Alien Arena on it before releasing.

Question 1: Where can I find a reliable place to download from. Everywhere I tried, it is slower than hell, and times out after only a few files.

Question 2: Is Suse really the best choice?

So now I'm trying Gentoo from Georgia Tech's server. This one seems a bit faster and more reliable.

Hehe..

Well, I got Gentoo, it's up and running. This ought to be interesting.

Some Linux releases often come with a lot of free tools that are very useful. Where as Windows you're still stuck with MSPaint, and Sound Recorder and a large price tag for word processors and programming tools. I'm still trying to build an additional PC to run Linux on. I was introduced years ago, and enjoyed it.

I'm sure you tried here Irritant.
