Best Linux Distro to dual boot

I really do like that Fedora is really secure and all, but I like the power you get from Slackware or Gentoo. How secure is Slackware and Gentoo?

Yeah, I think I am gonna try out Slackware. Thanks for all of your guys help!

Try Ubuntu 12.10 I had no problems with wireless it picked it up right away more so then W7 I had to install the drivers in windows

Any reason why you chose Slackware? From what I've read (haven't tried it myself) it's one of the harder distros to set up. Lots of compiling. Not "out of the box friendly." Same with Gentoo as well. Out of the 3 distress you mentioned, Fedora is by far the most "out of the box friendly." I have tried it.

If you are just looking for a "different than Windows" experience, any Linux distro will provide that. However, if you're just starting out, I would mirror others' opinions and go with Ubuntu, Fedora, or Mint. Others that might be worth a look are PCLinuxOS and Zorin OS.

Although I currently don't dual-boot, I am running Linux Mint 10 (Julia) on two different machines. Best Linux distro I've used to date. YMMV.

As Bug67 says.

Personally I love the look of Fedora but have found it to be buggy, or rather not-working-100%-out-the-box. In the end I always go back to Mint which I have been using ever since Ubuntu switched to Unity. Currently I am running Nadia which I am very happy with. Kubuntu is another flavour I enjoy.

If I had the time, patience and bandwidth I'd probably go with either Fedora or openSUSE though.

Played around with slackware but it just didn't seem very polished. And Zorin I would gladly pay money for; it looks amazing.
