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.)
Probably not the right group for the question, but anyway.
You won't have any trouble on Ubuntu, just be careful that if you use the packaged JDK that it is the sun version, it should say either in the documentation in Synaptic, or as part of the package name.
Ant, you should know is also X-platform, Netbeans works as in Windows etc.
I use Mandriva only at home, and all of what you want to do runs perfectly. As much hype as Ubuntu gets, I still find Mandriva more polished, I do however prefer the Debian package management.
