I would suggest you install Ubuntu. Run in graphical mode. You will have access to a very powerful command line when you want it, and a nice command like when you want it. You will want graphical mode to run eclipse/intelliJ in most likely anyway....

To quote Nike, "Just do it". Install Linux on your box, dual boot if you still want the Windows lifeline. Nothing will make you learn faster and more completely than honest to god necessity.
