Ubuntu is a perfect place to start.
The biggest thing you need to know is Linux Is Not Windows. http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm As long as you don't expect it to look and act just like Windows, you will love it. |

Amen. I started just recently on Ubuntu, and THEN I learned about Ubuntu Studio. I can't stay off of it.
