A few ques.

Ok, i'm going to be getting a new comp soon, cause i want one for myself and let my mom use the one im on right now, and i want to install linux on the new one, i've heard awsome stuff about it and it seems like a million times better than windows. I have been researching linux for about a week and a half now(im only 13 by the way). I want to be able to, burn cds/dvds, play counter-strike, listen to music, search the web, chat, keep updating my website, and some other things, would this be a good linux package to get?

Gentoo Linux
Gnome Desktop Environment
FluxBox Window manager
Extra(progs):
gDesklets
Gaim
XMMS
The GIMP .
Mozilla Firefox

and tell me whatever else i would need.

oh and the comp my linux would be running on is...

A shuttle xpc sb75g2v (its a minipc go to shuttle.com)
Intel P4 3.0 GHZ Prosessor 512k/800MHz
512MB DDR
128 MB ATI Radeon 9200
CDRW+DVD Combo Drive
120GB HD
CPU Socket : Intel Socket 478, support 533/800MHz FSB HT CPU
Chipsets : North bridge:Intel 875P, South bridge:ICH5-R
250W Power Supply

I know its alot but if someone could help out, it would be great
