See the title of my answer..:):
At any rate, this question was almost as good as "what cameras/cars/bikes/guns/cellphones/etc. do you guys use" :D
What I find substantially more interesting, however, is what Portman7 going to do with all the answers... :scratch :wink

I like it a lot, but there's a fairly steep learning curve and most windows software is not available for it/or you have to jump through hoops to make it work. Some hardware may not be compatible also.

Ubuntu is a Linux distribution which means that it's the Linux OS with a lot of free applications preinstalled. If there's something else you want then the general idea is to go to the package manager where you can tick other free applications you want and they automatically get downloaded and installed to your PC.

Gimp is the photoshop equivalent, though I might get slated for saying it's equivalent :-) It does most of the things I want, though as I recently mentioned in a post somewhere I lose EXIF data when importing Raw format photographs.

There's tons of information on the internet regarding making the choice to move to Linux. If you've got a copy of Photoshop and a windows PC which you're happy with and you don't hate Bill Gates, then you may as well stay with Windows. (Gimp's available for Windows also)

Once things are set-up (ie everything you want is installed and all hardware is setup) I'd say it's generally as easy to use as Windows, also I don't tend to bother with Virus checking or Anti-Spyware programs, though these are available if you're paranoid.
