I run Ubuntu on my Pegasos II. I have also run it on a two Windows laptops, and on two Macs under virtual machines. It is a thoroughly excellend distro of Linux and would recommend it if you're looking to move away from Windows. It's so easy to set up. Hardware detection and support is excellent. Go for it :-)

I had a quick look at that article. It looks quite good, though to be honest I think I installed Ubuntu and felt comfortable with it in less time than it took me to read that article :-)

Ubuntu is Gnome

There's also Xubuntu which uses XFCE (a very lightweight and fast window manager).

If you're worried it won't be as responsive as you would like, you may want to consider Xubuntu as it doesn't include the overhead of the bulky Gnome or KDE desktop environments.
