Like the post above says. Choosing race is in the end just about esthetics for your portrait. (Except maybe until Factional Warfare comes out)
I am Gallente and I haven't trained past Gallente Frigate lvl 2, all my ship skills are in Caldari. Been playing for two years now.
Although Drones is the skill category I train the fastest. ----------------------------------------------- My Band's new Demo: Linkage to Site |

Caldari.
Why? Good market, nice ships, Missiles!
Their women don't have hairy armpits like the Gallente.

Back in the days I had choosen Gallente to go for drones and mining ships ( needles with mining barges now ) and switched to train caldari skills later for Agent Running. In the end its all about how you want your portrait to look like. But keep in mind that roughly 70% of all players are caldari ... maybe you want to become a little bit more special

Missiles are good for missions, not good for pvp. Missiles are not really long range, they are too slow...
basically gallente hit hard and fast, do much better damage, but have less range.
Caldari you either pick missiles to be good in missions, or rails to be good in pvp.

As has been said above, the only real difference (discounting roleplaying) between the starting races are aestetics. However, in light of the attempt above to poke fun at the Gallente race, here is my checklist for chosing between Caldari and Gallente (both ships and race):
Choose CALDARI if:
- you like flying weird, pointy, monstrosities that can only have been designed by 20 different people each doing their tiny bit, and each of whom knew nothing about the work of the other 19. - you feel a kindred spirit with cowards that would bring a gun to a knife fight, and never want to look your opponent in the eye. - you feel that actually sitting in front of your computer while doing missions is boring, and would much rather just tape down the f1 to f7 buttons and go read a book. - you like to define you entire civilization on losing a war hundreds of years ago and still feeling bitter about having to evacuate from Caldari Prime.
Choose GALLENTE if:
- the concepts of freedom, liberalism, individualism, sex, drugs and rock'n'roll appeals to you. - a pleasure hut in every station seems like something you would value. - you enjoy a good fistfight, pummeling your opponent into submission at the closest of distances. - you are into women and want to hang out with the hottest in EVE. - you are into men and want to hang out with the hottest in EVE. - you like your ships to be both good-looking and effective at the same time.

At the end of the day, it's about which ships look cooler.

Well start of Caldari and go for both.
I've found Caldari and Gallente so compliment themselves! Missiles and Drones how can you loose ___________________

Both races have their cool looking ships. What race you pick will not determine what ships you'll be able to fly. As a Caldari you can buy all Gallente skills and train to fly Gallente ships and vice versa. Pick your race based on what attributes you like most as well as what race's ideals appeal to you more.
Caldari are great for mission running because they can do all 4 types of damage with their missiles and at a great distance too. All of their ships are long range. This is great on NPCs, which are stupid and keep firing and flying at you while you continue killing them from a distance. But for solo pvp you will have to keep within 20km to warp scramble your target. You lose your range advantage unless you pvp in gangs. Short range ships can normally dish out more damage than long range ships. If one gains on your long range ship, you will lose most likely. Gallente drones are equivalent of missiles. While they don't produce very cool explosions, they are relatively long range and can do all 4 types of damage. Gallente are considered to be better for solo piracy runs than Caldari ships.
So it all depends on what you want to do in the game.

Do like one of my corpmates, who can fly any race's ships up to BS IIRC.
Just select one character with whom you feel identified and let him train whatever you want. You'll take more time to fly more than one race's ships, if you are into that, but you'll also have more options.
So, have fun.
