Developing under Ubuntu

I am about to gain a new box*, and am (almost) determined
never to infest it with anything Microsoft. As such, I am looking
at Linux based options for an OS, and have heard good things
about Ubuntu.

Do the Java tools (SDK, and beyond that, Ant) work OK on
Ubuntu?

Are there other recommendations for OS' for developing Java?

(Besides Java development, it would be handy to have an OS that
is very 'media friendly' - but I guess/hope most OS' are, these days.)

* It will be a relatively standard unit, using an Intel (32 bit) dual
core CPU, probably on an ASUS P5K motherboard.
