Is running a Linux distribution a viable alternative to the Windows/OSX? And if so, which distro is most suited to the web developer?

Absolutely. I develop mostly in PHP and JavaScript and thrive in Ubuntu, and plan on giving Mint a try next time I need to start from a base install.

I do web development using Ubuntu. Which linux distribution you use is really a matter of how you intend to do systems administation, as the tools for web development are pretty much the same on all the distributions.
