getting bored of XP and want something to play around with.

I do web development, working in HTML, CSS, some PHP and MySQL and limited Java.

I use dreamweaver right now to keep track of my files and FTP access. However, I'd just as happily switch over to firefox and eclipse for my programming needs.

I like computer games too, such as Oblivion. What would I need in order to play games on a linux box, XP emulator?

Is Ubuntu any good? I know dell is using it, which doesn't say much...

I also have a partitioned hard drive, I assume my best best would be to convert the HD to a dynamic HD and then reformat the computer?
