So, what would you recommend (64 bit support is a must of course)? >I considered Fedora, SUSE, Mandrake... but frankly I have no idea which one to >choose. Any suggestion would be highly appreciated. To my knowledge there is still some little danger concerning the 2.6 kernel dual boot bug. Be careful and take some precautions in case you are bitten by it. I installed Ubuntu alongside W2k and had no problems at all, but before Fedora2 killed my partition table. Maybe it's solved in FC3, but Fedora didn't put up a warning anywhere with version 2. Ubuntu is a nice small Debian based distro and truly open source. http://www.ubuntulinux.org/
