I love Ubuntu, have been using it for many years.  OpenSuse is another 
sure bet.  I don't think you can go wrong either way.

Only annoying thing in the Linux world:  updates.  Either you keep up 
with software updates, or you see newer Linux software not running in 
your distro.  It's annoying, but I guess it helps keep up security 
tight.  It happens because Linux apps use libs present in the system. 
In Windows, apps are usually packaged together with the particular libs 
it needs, in Linux it's centralized.  Just keep up and you'll be fine.

Other than that, Linux experience today is smooth and a far cry from the 
hackish state in the early 2000's... :)
