I use Eclipse (latest stable) on both Windows 2000 an Linux - I am
very happy with it on both platforms.

Performance is definitely not an issue (the Linux machine is an
ancient 1 GHz machine with 512 MB memory).

Tweaking the GUI can be a bit of an issue. There is a GTK and Motif
version - go with GTK! If you use Gnome, the look&feel should be
fine. If you use KDE, you may have to tinker a bit (I documented my
GUI tinkerings here: http://jastram.de/story.php?id=171 ).

Good luck!
