Linux dual boot?

[mike Enriquez]

I am planning to build a dual boot workstation. It will a 64bit computer 
with Windows 7 pro but I have yet to select a linux distro.
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
