I'm thinking of trying out linux and was wondering what people thought the best version was?.

Sounds like unbuntu then.

Can you encrypt the linux partition with aes so you need a password to start up the os? What sort of security features does linux have compared to windows, and whats the system performance like?

What are the startup times compared to windows and is there usually any difference in speed between similar programs in linux and windows, like games, video encoding apps etc? And what is compatibility like compared to windows?

Thanks. Should I use the 32 or 64 bit version? Is there no real difference other than support for 64 bit apps or is there problems with the 64 bit version like other os cough*vista*cough?
