I forgot to mention: using OpenOffice is completely free of charge, this
software can also be used on MacOS. It's my everyday office life. And
using OpenOffice you don't need to buy CrossOffice (65$) which is used
to run Microsoft Office (which again is not free)

If you have questions using OpenOffice, there are a lot of OpenOffice
users there on the forum that are very willing to help. See
www.oooforum.org

I think both Ubuntu and Mac OS are your good choice! If you are
interested in and have time on learning managing powerful system like
FreeBSD it's also a good choice.
