Yep
There has been a lot of diffrences in performance in 2.6 series. Threading performance is much better in 2.6 then 2.4. I have in mind stock kernels thought. A lot of distrubutions backport lots of patches to their kernels improving speed and security.
For example: http://kerneltrap.org/node/4940

2.6 is working for me pretty well. I tend to stay with latest kernel on my desktop. I had some problems with nvidia drivers with some releases that were quickly resolved. Check releases from stable team they include only security fixes http://lwn.net/Articles/139429/.
If your hardware is well supported under linux you should try 2.6 on servers as well, it offers better performance then stock 2.4.

My friend showed me this today:
http://transgaming.org/gamesdb/games/view.mhtml?game_id=3518
Looks like transgaming officially suports wow on linux.

fyi,
transgaming makes this product named cedega. It is win32 \"emulation\" that allowes to run some games on linux. You will get some performance hit.

debian sid works without problems too

I heard lots of good things about ubuntu, with release cycle similar to fedora it maybe right for you.

If you want to try linux get knoppix cd
http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html
Download, burn and boot. It is linux that runs from cd.
It will not modify your files on hd.  
Apps will start little slower because  cd is compressed. it has ~2GB of data. But once app is loaded it should be fast.
I give these cd\'s away  all the time.

It pulled 11Mb today without problems, however merging takes forever. Sofar It\'s running for about 1 hour and it  It\'s only  20% done. I noticed that mouse movement inside updater is slow too. CPU is hardly utilized. Any suggestions?

ps. Thanks for creating/packaging great game. It  plays great on debian unstable.


After searching forums little longer I found suggestion about running updater in auto mode. That worked very well. Update finished in couple minutes. Just run:
./updater -auto

X supports 24 and 32. However choosing 32 is little pointless, 24 bits are used for color and last 8 bits are not used at all.
