There are hundreds of linux ditros, so I don't see the choice being only ubunut.  Try dreamlinux for a nice desktop or Opensuse if you want a server.  Saboyan is huge but rewards you for that size with a stunning visual experience.  

Don't limit yourself to one distro!!!!

check out distrowatch

Yes, he meant a large percentage of his mates used PCs for games.  Personally of all the people I know, maybe one or two are serious gamers, the rest surf the net, read email and do word processing.  A little Dreamlinux box will do all that and not be susceptible to all the Virii that are out there.

PC Game sales have been declining while the big three games boxes (Wii, PS3, XBox) have been increasing.  It appears that games players want dedicated hardware for their games.  But there still are a lot of sales, it would be interesting to know real statistics.  My nephew plays Grand Theft Auto on his PC...

I really advise you to check all Linux distros, Ububtu is a Debian Linux, there are at least half a dozen other Debian distros out there that are common, plus the Fedora, Mandriva and other distros. No one distro works for everyone, I had Ubuntu running on a couple servers and found it didn't work for me, OpenSuse was a far better choice.
