I'm not sure. I think I like my Macbook too much for that (apps like Spark, Alfred, and iTerm), all the multi-touch stuff, and how it ties into my phone. I'll probably use the Linux laptop for coding, server management, and a light-carry, travel laptop.

That being said, the laptop I installed it on was 150 bucks and isn't super powerful, but Debian still runs like a champ. I really enjoy how barebones it is because it lets me figure out what's added in Ubuntu and what's part of a more basic setup. When I first opened it up, I had to install sudo, and that made me giggle a little bit. I think I may end up going back to a more comfortable distro eventually, but, right now, this is a great learning experience!
