Dows - > Ubuntu

I've been a Windows user for a while, but now that Ubuntu came out, I decided to try and make the switch to 'nix.

Is Ubuntu all that it's cracked up to be? And will I be able to learn the nix commands so I can eventually switch over to something along the lines of slackware?

Jesus, someone call this guy a waaambulance.

Ubuntu is cool shit if you stick with it and learn how to use it. It also helps if your hardware is widely supported. Your best bet is to download, burn and run the live CD and see how it goes.
