This seems more appropriate to post here rather than the beginner forums...
Are there any disadvantages anyone can see by switching over to ubuntu to write my code as I'm learning the Java language? I've just installed Ubuntu, my first flavor of linux ever, read some documentation and installed jdk1.5 without a hitch. Sadly, it was easier for me in linux than in windows. I've checked to make sure it IS 1.5, the few classes I have that include 1.5 methods work like a champ. And it's really nice that the default text editor I have has some highlighting built in.
Just want to know now, because in the few hours I've been using it, it seems faster, easier (due to the highlighting), and for now, exotically enticing.
