Default Migrating NOW!!

I cant stand it anymore. Im leaving windows for linux! im sick and tired of errors and things just generally not working. Before i do though there are just a few questions i have.

1) Is it easy to program in linux??
2) Is Ubuntu the best one for me to start with?
3) Is it worth me keeping a partition on with Windows XP on?

Thanks in advance.

I have been a Ubuntu user on-and-off since 2005....

1) Is it easy to program in linux??
Relativley. Most modern Linux apps are in Python.
2) Is Ubuntu the best one for me to start with?
I would certainly suggest it.
3) Is it worth me keeping a partition on with Windows XP on?
Only if you game or if your PC is quite slow. If not, you can run XP in a virtual machine.
