Which is the fastest and the most stable Linux distro?

Q. I'm looking for a fast Linux distro that comes bundled with cool daily-use apps inbuilt. What's the best option?

A. It's always a trade-off - speed sometimes comes with reduced capabilities. As for 'bundled' apps, most Linux distros come relatively plain - you pick and choose your apps from the Repositories.

I think the best compromise right now is Xubuntu. Like Ubuntu it has access to the biggest pool of Apps, but it runs the XFCE desktop instead of Gnome or Unity, much quicker.

For an older PC or Laptop, I concur with a previous answer - Puppy Linux, expecially the NOP versions, are very lightweight and fast, but adding apps is a little more involved.

Try Xubuntu.

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

A. 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.

Are you suppose to use different linux distros if you have different purposes?
Q. Or can all linux distro do almost the same if you know the terminal command or scripts? For example if i wanted to do some penetration test with back track but i want to surf the wow anonymously with incognito? Do i have to do them seperately or can i kinda combine them together in one.

A. Terminal commands in almost all Linux distributions are the same commands. Penetration Testing (Forensic) Linux distributions do not make a very good desktop, for everyday use. It doesn't make very much sense to do it on your own hard drive. In most Linux distributions, I believe in the package management program you can find anonymous browsing software to install. And yes one Linux in general can be over bloated with software to your desire.
