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.)

core CPU, probably on an ASUS P5K motherboard.
Andrew,
I run Ubuntu 8.04 under VMware on my Vista machine and have found no problems using JDK 6 Update 10 downloaded from Sun. The only real difference between the Vista OS and Ubuntu appears to be that fonts look nicer under Vista but my apps are working perfectly unchanged on Ubuntu other than that. Personally, I love being able to drop into a decent command line whenever required and having files copy in a timely fashion.
Having said that, IMHO Fedora 9 is a better desktop Linux than Ubuntu.
