I use Ubuntu without any issue at all. At my office we use it for all of
our java/jboss stuff. Lots of our dev work is done with vmware guests
because of snapshotting (including memory state, etc). It's great stuff
if you have ESX running with a proper SAN back end, Kyle probably has
lots of advice for this.
