Yeah I have, and it's only available for Winders.

I don't mean to start a distro war here. But I am a computer science student, and we do a lot of coding (python, c++, java,...) and I was wondering what distro you guys would recommend. I have always installed Linux on older machines, but now I am looking at installing it alongside my windows 8 install. Any recommendations?
