As a software/website developer, and general IT consultant, I consider myself a fairly advanced user. Don't let the Windows/Mac users dissuade you. Linux is the most secure, versatile, and lightweight Open Source OS thats NOT on the market. Yes, it may take some time to get your system, configured exactly, but thats part of the fun in Ubuntu. It's YOUR system. If you need help, visit the Ubuntu Forums. Someone will normally reply with a helpful answer in a matter of minutes.

I currently use synCE to transfer files and programs. You can follow my walk-through here. Please let me know your results. I use google sync for calendar. And internet sharing works great through WMWifiRouter. Enjoy, and don't worry about the haters.
