Just curious, why not use the latest Ubuntu? Is there a problem with the 
newer releases?

I'm currently using Ubuntu 12.04 (I plan to just stay synced on the current 
final release) for my development workstation and I love it. My only gripe 
is switching between different external monitors on my laptop requires 
command line commands rather than working automatically.

Compared to Windows, it's much better suited for JVM development. The 
shells are dramatically better (although I never fully explored alt-shell 
options on Windows). You have proper soft links (I just learned that NTFS 
has them, and I'm not sure how well they work). It's more responsive, the 
software repo is nicer, the GUI is cleaner/simpler, and all my main apps 
are fully cross platform Win/Mac/Linux.
