Good on you!, Linux is really awesome and with kvm virtualisation you practically don't need a windows partition 
Digging through all the "How to get vista working" threads I actually managed to find
http://www.nfohump.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=25633
personal opinions can be found there.

I'd recommend Open Suse... It's really good.

OpenBSD or NetBSD are both better. |

Get a real unix instead if you want to run a server (who wants *nix on the desktop anyway). Solaris 10 for x86 is free and beats Linux anytime, though i still prefer it on Sparc.

There's nothing new and revolutionary about Ubuntu, Linux seems fashionable its whatever trend is in at the moment.

I know, i just tought BSD was cooler ^^
Friend of mine using it, seems kinda hard for a windows noob like me  |
BSD cooler? errr if you want to use something thats been branded "cool" try OSX.
Incidently OSX is 'just' darwin with a nice wm, darwin being a BSD variant 
However speaking about desktop replacements Linux is best. |

Yeah, I always found it funny that OSX was a unix derivative.. people keep going on about how its far superior to PC OS's when in reality it is one..
