I really want to switch to Linux. I am soooooo tired of windows. However I am in IT student and need to learn programming. Any Linux gurus here have any suggestions for me? What distro would be the best, what emulator program would be the best, and are there any Linux programming programs for beginning programmers? I don't really want to dual boot because that would mean I would have to shell out $300 for windows (the windows im running is bootleg, and I inherited it on this pc), however I will as a last resort.

I'm using a PC, running two OS's, Linux (fedora core) and Windows. I run Linux for mathematical programming, Latex-ing, and mostly work (math) related stuff. Linux is great (and free!), but it requires a lot of time to maintain, and I'm not all that comfortable with it. And I hate downloading and installing drivers whenever I want to install a new peripheral. I run Windows because everyone else does.
