To all people complaining about unstable apps, poor performance and buggy drivers: I purchased my last laptop from Dell because I was aware it was well supported on Ubuntu.
This alone makes a huge difference, trying to install Mac OS X on a frankenmac will result in an troublesome experience too.
Doing your own transition to free software is also a key for success, and if you're not tied to a proprietary technology, you should try it. I've been a full-time Ubuntu user for 5+ years, working as a developer using Java, Ruby or Python, and I'm very satisfied. Even further, when I had to use Windows 7 or even Mac OS X it feels odd.
