nOOb question ubuntu/android

Newbie
I am VERY new to the smartphone/android thing and I must say very excited too. I have been watching lots of android YOUtube videos and they say "PC" alot in them -is it better to be using windows with android or is ubuntu ok?
 
I had the same questions about Ubuntu. You can work with the SD card just by plugging phone in - don't need a driver. You can even root the Nexus S using Ubuntu.

That said -since I'm not too good with the command line, I found it easier to root with XP. I've done 2 phones. Most stuff is written for Windows as it's the most common OS. Mini Kies used to upgrade doesn't have a Linux version as far as I know.

Actually, any computer used by you alone is a PC. Personal Computer. That definition applies to all OS.

General usage changed that to Mac vs Windows disregarding Linux, BeOS, OS2, etc.
