back in grad school i used ubuntu a lot, mostly for research, which is good since a lot of academic stuff is available only for linux. but the whole issues with dependencies and what-nots is an utter pain in my rears...
ubuntu didn't really offer anything i couldn't do in windows, and eventually i switched back to windows and just started using cygwin and x-win32, which isn't free.
by now, i've grown out of my "must use something other than Windows" phase and i think i'll be sticking to windows for a while.
the Wii is an epidemic.
