The unofficial slackware 64bit version....

this does not have gnome, so download dropline-gnome for 64-bit

*dropline-gnome.sourceforge.net/

Open SuSE

You can use Open SuSE 10.0 *en.opensuse.org/Welcome_to_openSUSE.org

You can have a dual boot system

Instead of asking here I'd suggest you read Mark Shuttleworth's Interview with LFY this month or this webpage.

This gives you an idea abt mark shuttleworth's aim and ambition.
