New to linux though know a lot about computers as I'm majoring in computer science. I'm not sure what the major differences between the distributions are. I'm not looking to dual boot. I just want something that comes with a gcc compiler with a decent UI that potentially in the future I may run as a server. I don't know if there are any you'd reccomend or if the distributions are pretty much the same.

I use Linspire and love it. I am not at all technical. I tried several others and they were too hard to use. Ubuntu and others don't support MP3, DVD, Windows Media, Flash, Java, etc. by default, so you have to install that later, which is hard for someone non-technical. www.linspire.com
