Hmm, that's cool.

So does it have some ready antivirus and stuff from the get-go?

Most Linux distributions do not have antivirus programs.  The automatic software patcher does a very good job of keeping your system secure.  Also, most antivirus programs you can install on Linux do not have an active scanner by default.  They are mainly for scanning files so you don't pass viruses on to Windows based computers.

If you want a distribution with the most things included like codecs, java, ect., look into Linux Mint.  It is Ubuntu based, so you still have the benefit of it being the most popular distribution.
