Congratulations. My advice is learn Unix. Once you do you will really realize how much of a POS Winblows is.

Hello everybody! I am purchasing my first MacBook Air (128GB/8GB/13") and was wondering if there is anything I should know? I am pretty excited for it. :p

Edit: Just ordered!
 
It does. There are even themes in Ubuntu that can make it look just like OSX.

It's really very similar to OSX, although some things are harder to do, and some things are easier to do. It just depends on what sort of user you are.

There are much better versions of Linux out now, though, with the recent Ubuntu release being a POS.

That is a matter of opinion. IMO, Ubuntu 12.04 is really good. The Unity interface took a while to get used to, but I can appreciate its clean interface.

I'd look into ruby. I think (personally) it looks alot better than new Ubuntu. But yeah, for sure, it's definitely opinion.
