Linq to SQL VS Entity Framework
Im new to development for the windows server platform. Can someone tell me the difference between Linq to SQL and EF4? I need some help choosing the right technology.

L2SQL is obsolete deprecated. Whilst it will be supported, no future changes are planned.
For this reason alone (since your just starting out), use Entity Framework 4.
If you want a comparison of the two, check out my answer here.
This question is highly subjective though, and might be closed - as there is a war between the "EFers" and the "NHibernaters".
