Here's what I'm using now. I'd like to make the transition to Linux. It doesn't have to be Ubuntu.

Hi Dana,
Another option is to get a chromebook, and run ubuntu in developer mode. We have a couple of developers where I work that do this, but I haven't made the leap myself. Here's another story from someone that does it with the samsung chromebook: https://plus.google.com/112449749826562830126/posts/ZS9WaegrZYH with crouton, so it can run side-by-side instead of dual booting.
