If you use XAMPP I would say, that is doesn't matter which OS you take as XAMPP does everything out of the box.
I am also more a Windows user but I have two real web servers I administer and learning some bacis Linux commands is not that hard. The advantages using linux is that you already have some libraries installed that are not standard on Windows machines, such as Python, SVN, SSH and others. Also installing them is most of the time very easy using something like apt-get (Ubuntu) or zypper (openSuse).

I also think that using Ubuntu with XAMPP but for starting I want to use lots of language like ASP,PHP,java as a server RED5 , Jboss ... and all of them linux systems supports?

I am not quite sure about ASP on ubuntu. If you want to use it for productive use, I would recommend using apache, mysql etc. directly installed and not with xampp. It is as easy as doing a couple of "apt-get install" commands and some little configuration. You'll find a lot of tutorials on how to install a LAMP system on ubuntu.
