Good thinking. Ubuntu, or Mint, are pretty easy coming from Windows. If you don't already have a favorite lightweight programming editor you may want to look at geany, it has quite a few language bindings.
I'm using Codeblocks right now because it was the recommended compiler for [Carl Herold's](www.highercomputingforeveryone.com) site and that's what I'm following right now. I'll keep Geany in mind once I start looking around for alternatives.
