I used Ubuntu (thanks to Icedog for making me want to try it so bad), and I really liked it. It was a bit hard to setup for the first time since I had never used a Linux environment before hand, but after you get used to it there's nothing to it.

It runs smoothly, and I used it to browse the web mostly, write school reports and whatnot.

If you truly don't have a solid reason for switching to a Linux OS, then don't, and as other suggested, start out with a dual-boot configuration first, and see how you like it.

Is it just as good or better than xp/vista?

Here we go again (nothing against you), but you can't really compare Linux to Windows. They both have their uses. Linux is widely used to run servers, and more network type applications, especially in a corporate environment. Windows is just all around easy to use, and most peoples cup of tea.
