I'm always interested in the new stuff, things that help make a good computer geek...up to date. Now, I'm planning to dual boot Vista Ultimate with a version of Linux, but there in lies a problem.
I don't know which linux version to run. I took a test to see which would be best for me and well...here's the test results:
We found the following perfect match(es): 
Kubuntu Homepage: Kubuntu | linux for human beings | Kubuntu Screenshots: The Coding StudioKubuntu is a user friendly operating system based on KDE, the K Desktop Environment. With a predictable 6 month release cycle and part of the Ubuntu project, Kubuntu is the GNU/Linux distribution for everyone.
(This distribution also has a "Live CD" you can use to test the distribution before you install it) 
Ubuntu Homepage: Ubuntu Home Page | Ubuntu Screenshots: The Coding StudioUbuntu is a free, open source operating system that starts with the breadth of Debian and adds regular releases (every six months), a clear focus on the user and usability (it should "Just Work", TM) and a commitment to security updates with 18 months of support for every release. Ubuntu ships with the latest Gnome release as well as a selection of server and desktop software that makes for a comfortable desktop experience off a single installation CD.
(This distribution also has a "Live CD" you can use to test the distribution before you install it) 
Mandriva Homepage: Mandriva Screenshots: The Coding StudioMandriva Linux (formerly known as Mandrake Linux) was created in 1998 with the goal of making Linux easier to use for everyone. Mandriva offers all the power and stability of Linux to both individuals and professional users in an easy-to-use and pleasant environment.

In addition, we found these matches, sorted by how well they match:

Fedora
The goal of The Fedora Project is to work with the Linux community to build a complete, general purpose operating system exclusively from open source software. Fedora Core is built to provide choice. It includes the latest versions of many software packages, including both GNOME and KDE desktop environments. Fedora Extras, a repository built entirely by volunteers, provides thousands more packages, and is enabled for use by default.

------------------------
Now, I'll admit, I'm a newbie to Linux but hey...that's why I want to install it. I know I need to test my hardware on it as well to make sure I have the drivers/codecs for my stuff.
What I plan on using this for, is random things at first. I'll probably continue to use Vista for my main stuff such as gaming/videos/torrenting/etc. unless Linux can help me out with that as well.
So...suggestions?
