+1 for Ubuntu. I run both 10.04 and 11.10 and both can be made to work great. Personally I like to download Eclipse and install to /opt rather than use the normal package manager, but that's just me.
I really don't use Windows anymore except to run MS Office and some Adobe stuff. For that I use a virtual machine app on Ubuntu called VirtualBox...its free and runs Windows faster than when natively installed on my machine! The command line on Linux is better than Windows and I find things are generally faster and more stable. My Ubuntu desktop machine hasn't been rebooted in 10 months...
