I like the atmosphere in this forum. One of the things I like is the "***k M$, Love Linux" stuff.
You can't expect to find windows-friendly users in a Linux internet tablet forum...and it's good like that Dualbooting with windows(for games and stuff?) and (K/X)Ubuntu/Suse&Co would be fine to dive into the linux world. Perhaps Gentoo, because the compiling stuff makes you less wizard-dummy and you can learn a lot. If you are not going to play games, you can run windows in a VM. Works great with new hardware and a lot of ram. The best thing is: "Huh, you freaking windows machine, got a virus again??? Don't want to do what I tell you to do??? I am going to warn you ONE time! What? You don't listen? F*** you!" -> Klick on "Stop" and 1 sek later continue your work with Linux
