I think Adam holds the bragging rights to being the first one to run Doom
or Quake on S/390 under linux. As best as I remember, response time
was an issue.

Tao is essentially a rebuild of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. It should do
fine for playing but as with all free distributions you get to do your
own support and servicing. Tao should also be "truely free" in a
Stallmanesque sense (other than depending on proprietary VM products 8))
because it lacks the proprietary add-ons like Java.
So if you want to run the first quakeserver on S/390 on the internet or
something it should be fine
