Hey Mo, hope everything is good.
I use it for messing around with. We use FreeBSD in production, but here at home when I just want to futz around I load up Ubuntu in VMWare. Super easy to get started with if you don't really know what you're doing, and with VMWare you don't need to dual boot, or dedicate a whole computer to it. I usually just maximize the VMware window on my second monitor and you can just slide between both.
Only pain is no copy paste.. If you DO have a second PC to run Ubuntu on, I'd recommend software called Synergy, which lets you share your keyboard and mouse (and copy paste!!) between multiple computers, running different OS's even. You could have three computers (mac, PC and unix if you wanted) on three monitors, and just slide your same mouse through all the screens. Your keyboard will type into whichever is active (where your cursor is).
Gl.
