Becquerel:
Just a question
What's a good Distro for regular Dev work? IE Computer Sci. Courses, independent web / program development, etc.

Depends. If you have enough time and want to learn how to properly use Linux- Arch or Gentoo.
If you don't, Fedora, Ubuntu, etc.

Arch and Gentoo are long term goals.
I guess I'll probably go with Ubuntu

Ubuntu is pretty good for beginners, but if you're not too perturbed by having to initially install a lot of packages you might like Debian better. Ubuntu is based off Debian and adds a lot of 'bloat' to it, Debian is faster and has less bloat.
