I concur.
I also strongly recommend running additional hosts as virtual machines (either with VirtualBox or VMware Player/Workstation) instead of dual booting. VMs are much nicer to use.

quite different but all very good. See which one you like best.
Personally I loved SuSE at first but could not spend the time to learn
it as well as Fedora or Ubuntu. And, well, Ubuntu just amazes me at
how simple it can be for simple things, like printing, so it get heavy
props.
For servers I am almost pure RedHat (Cent OS to be specific) for
desktops I have one Ubuntu and one Fedora on my desk. I use them both
equally.

I am partial to Debian. I have it running on a a 64bit Dell laptop for about
6 months with no problems. I also run Windows 7 Pro as a virtual machine.

I am open to any suggestions. Which linux distro would you use. My only
requirement is that it further my linux education.
I am willing to try any Linux Distro in workstation or server version.

Also what would you put into your 64 bit computer? I am planning to use an
i7 extreme processor on an MSI X58 pro-E motherboard. Ram is going to be
DDR3 1600 MHz.

I am open to any ideas.  Please send me your ideas.

Thanks
