Is there a significant difference in Linux implementations? Is Ubuntu one of the better ones? Does it make a difference for running D2?

Thanks for all the good advice. I'll even listen to some of it!

Lots of votes for Ubuntu, so I'll probably go with that. (I'm encouraged that I don't have to make a decision "once and for all time".)

Hopefully, I'll get a chance to do an install and run with it a little bit this weekend. The hardest part looks to be to clean up my system. My plan is to install Linux on my D: drive and leave the C: drive for Windows. I've been using D mainly for backups, but I just got a USB hard drive specifically for backups, so I can dedicate the D: drive.

Again, thanks for all the good advice. You can now all go back to thinking about D.
