centOS is made for Servers , Ubuntu is made for desktop use.. most severs in nowadays are driven by CentOS or RHEL , centOS is also red hat based distro.
LTS versions are quite stable..i'm using 13.04 since 13.04 is not LTS it is not stable as 12.04 but i couldn't stay with 12.04 when the release new versions

I was dual booting windows xp and fedora sometime ago.
anyway nice thread. Partitioning thing was great
but to get use to linux environment try ubutnu 
ඇපල් ම කන්න ඕන එවුන් ඉන්නවනම් මෙන්න බඩු.....Tested and Working Perfectly.
