Despite the feeling of euphoria that accompanies a first post (I have felt it many times myself), remember the groundwork laid by the trolls who came before you. If you get the chance, pour out a little malt liquor to pay tribute to the fallen comrades among us.
I don't think it will help much. With poor support for newer video cards Linux isn't going to get much in the way of gaming.
Also, from what I have seen from the Xbox so far it will likely be the crushing blow for Linux gaming (with Linux's adoption on the desktop soon to follow). The Xbox can run 6 monitors for crying out loud! It has full screen texture rendering, surface mapping, and will likely have the most stunning array of games for any console ever produced. (Look at Age of Empires...)
Linux isn't going to be able to keep up, it is fighting wars on too many fronts: servers; desktops; console; handhelds; etc.
