Superman,
You're going to have to read, learn and
rethink things a bit as Linux works pretty
nicely, but with a cost. Most of your Win
progs may not run as expected if at all.
There are some really good replacements
like OpenOffice (works like Word, Excel,
etc.), some really good browsers and
email programs. It come with more "stuff"
than you can digest in a week.
Folders and files are very similar but drive
naming conventions are a bit different and
may take a little getting used to (drive 0,
drive 1 instead of C, D, etc.)
My linux bos is remarkably stable having
run for several months without requiring a
reboot!
Linux security is another strong
area. (Some say that Linux computers don't
get attacked by virii because not too many
people use a linux based platform). OK, well
that's good for Linux users I guess <G>.
Give yourself some time (if you're not already
familiar with Linux and you're be pleasantly
surprised.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Good luck,
- Art -
