Just my two cents about Linux and Ubuntu:  Installing Ubuntu has become 
a breeze.  Also, there are a plethora of cool utilities that make 
compiling easy, too (it's nice to be able to compile the latest lilypond 
and whatever, locally).  Well, you need to know some basic command-line 
stuff, I suppose.

One particular, however:  I would stay away from "Unity", and opt for 
"GNOME" during installation.  Someone could still correct me and 
persuade me about the glory of Unity, but I have instinctively disliked 
it from its inception, and am happily using the "traditional" Gnome.  
And I also feel like the new newcomers who never get to experience Gnome 
would be missing its sensibility and might never know they had the 
option to choose between the two.

Well, the above is more like 25cents.  And I risk reactionary responses 
from Unity fans - but rational arguments are welcomed.

good luck with your installation and implementation.  Should be really easy.
