Justin's reply was pretty full, I don't really have much to add. I use Kubuntu on all my machines here. I used to use Suse, now I've moved over to Kubuntu I'venot really looked back - the key for me is the Ubuntu repositories, they make it really easy to grab practically any development tool you need for you work, all with a couple clicks in GUI, or a single line of command line. The proprietary NVidia drivers can also be enabled just with a GUI click on first install. All my Kids use Kununtu and love it, they range from 4 to 8 year olds. So its certainly not difficult to use, just takes a little getting used to different ways of doing things. I'll add to Justin's mention about file system performance, if you do VPB work then you'll find Linux several times faster to build than under Windows on the same hardware.
