If you want to use CiviCRM, use Drupal 6.
Try CiviTeacher: the online video tutorial CiviCRM learning library.

How difficult will it be to migrate a CiviCRM install from Civi 3.4 / Drupal 6 to the Drupal 7 version? I was just getting started so now I'm wondering if I should continue building into the Drupal 6 version or wait until March to use Civi. I'll definitely want to be using Drupal 7 in the near future. Any guidance would be great! Thank you.

Hi,

Probably too early to say for sure, but the migration between versions has greatly improved and provided you don't do custom templates/code/hooks/api... it should be simple by following the documentation (unpack, backup, go to the upgrade page, click, wait and voila).

Moreover, quite a few will be migrating to drupal7 as well, so it should uncover quite a few edge case problems and hopefully fix them quickly.

As for other drupal modules you might want to start using, well it depends, but if you only have civicrm, should be relatively painless.
