I've played around with Ubuntu alot on my home computer. I gotta say, doing development in a true *nix environment is a hell of a lot nicer then the windows equivalent. And Ubuntu is the nicest of all the distros out there.
<rant>
But I've never been able to use any Linux distro for much longer then a passing interest. Anything that I like to do in WindowsXP takes less then half the time as it does in linux, despite me being pretty familiar with both OS's. Yes, Linux is more secure, but prudent use of Windows is not that hard to learn. And besides that, the interface is much nicer on the windows side then on the linux side.
To each their own I guess.
