Which distro should i choose?

Now i know if i ask what the best distro is, there will be uproar! So what are the main contenders.

Also, how much disk space should i be allowing for it, i will only be using to play about with and maybe do some coding if i get round to it!

Must be sata compatible, I've had issues with this in versions of fedora core 4, so quite a while ago

hmm, how do i partion my drive if its all already nfts? any programs you recommend?

Right, well I'm running a live version of Ubuntu, its different! I wouldn't ditch xp for it, so it definitely going to be dual-booting! Other than just mucking about in Linux, what else can i utilize it for?

edit - back on windows, found a program called disk director, it has re-partitioned my c-drive, so now i have another 2 5Gb drives, of which one will house Ubuntu, and the other Suse

they are both gnome variants, am i able to download the kde as well as? i assume i can, being it Linux and unstoppable by nothing

Well I've got suse working

Installing Ubuntu now, should cause no conflicts?

Ok, where is Firefox installed in suse, so i can install the flash plug in, also, I'm trying to install my gfx card drivers and i have not a clue what I'm doing, help there would be nice then i can get out of this ghastly 1024x768 res and back to a decent 1600x1200
