I bought a new laptop, pre-loaded with Windows Vista Home Premium.

The main reason why I bought it was to program and I find Vista is generally counter-productive for anything not dicking around on the internet/playing solitaire. In this mindset, I've decided to make the move to Linux on it.

Now, I have Ubuntu on my desktop and like it just fine. However, for laptop compatibility and power efficiency I'm unsure what the best distro would be. So, any Linux guys out there have a preference? I really don't care about user-friendliness, as a hard learning curve would only benefit me in the long run.

As always, I appreciate it.
