Repo, I understand your concern, but dual booting Linux and Windows is not as same as dual booting two Linux Distros. But alas, he has earned a bad reputation here so...even I don;t feel like answering him now,

Why get annoyed, this is virtual cyberspace.
I am just asking more questions.

You are just asking more questions, that is true. I reviewed the last 200 - 300 of your posts and the vast majority are questions that you should not have asked:
  • If you can install a distribution, there is no point in asking others what opinion you should have of it. If you want to install many distros and have an opinion of which most suits you, fine; try the distros and form your own opinion. You will have a different set of priorities from most of the people who respond; no point in asking others (at least without finding out something about their priorities), because their priorities will influence their opinion and yours will be different.
  • No point in the question 'Which is the best Distro/Linux...' except as a flame-bait (and that is deprecated); there isn't a 'best'. You can see this by the fact that many different distros have user communities; Do you think that these people have all decided "I know X is the best, but I'll use Y instead?" There may be a 'which is the best suited for a particular type of user, or a particular use case' but that is not what you have been asking. Repeatedly. And in many sub-forums.
  • You seem to have been through Solaris, Sabayon, OpenSUSE, Debian, Slackware, Ubuntu and probably a few that I have missed. If you haven't found one in there that you'd like to play with for a more extended period, there may be no hope.

(Missed Fedora,RedHat and some flavour of BSD and there probably are others; this is since mid-December, which seems a bit overheated, to me; yes trying out many distros is fine, yes, seeing what suits you is fine, but at least one of those threads contains 50-plus postings from you, on a distro which doesn't seem in any way suited to your preferences, and on which you seem to want to make occasional odd, factually-flawed, pronouncements; I can't see any way in which this is useful.)

Please consider a little bit more, try a bit more for yourself, settle down a little, search a little and post once you have considered the question for yourself rather than as your initial reaction. Free software does promise you considerable freedom, but it is up to you to use that freedom responsibly.

Dear Friends,
now I am running Ubuntu Ultimate 32 bit,
but I have just got a 64bit ISO file,
my CPU is 64bit,
32 bit is running well, but i never install 64 bit linux,
I wish to try 64 bit, but many people it makes no significant difference you can "feel",
so i am indecisive,
do you think worth installing the 64bit Ubuntu?

Ubuntu is running rock solid on my PC,
the amarok gives me better crystal clear sound quality than those iTune/Real Player in Windows.

Ubuntu is my choice now.
Last time I prefer KDE, but now I think Gnome is better.

I prefer Ubuntu

I prefer Ubuntu because I have to spend very little time "fixing" my machine to make it work.

This is an advantage if you have a job, a wife, kids, etc. that take up time in one's life and are a higher priority.

Some people like to have a Linux system that you have to spend lots of time with since everything you attempt to accomplish is a huge project.

The downside of Ubuntu is that since everything "just works" you really don't get to learn anything about Linux.

It's like having a car that "just runs", you never get to learn what is under the hood and what makes everything work.

For some people this is a good thing. It all depends upon your goals.

Congratulations!
Uploading this amount of files... It's like re-installing the system. Though, configurations stays in place.
