Thread: So I've decided to switch to Linux - Diary of moving from Windows to Ubuntu Linux

    Cool So I've decided to switch to Linux - Diary of moving from Windows to Ubuntu Linux

    Hi all,

    First of all, I have to say that I have never personally encountered a Linux distribution community that is so user-friendly and helpful.

    I've been playing around with Linux, on and off, for a few years now - Nothing too complicated, always on an "older" second machine, emulator or second partition.
    Never actually REPLACING Windows.

    Ever since learning of Ubuntu I was itching to try and do something dangerous - Ditch Windows altogather, and try using Linux as my main desktop OS.

    Moreover, I've decided to make a little online journal of this experience.
    This can be pretty cool for a few reasons:
    1. First off, I think my journal is interesting..
    2. People new to Linux, or Ubuntu, might pick-up intersting tips, links and solutions I have encountered.
    3. Visitors can actually suggest solutions to problems I've encountered...

    That's it, you are all invited to read the two first episodes, and please feel free commenting:
    So I've decided to switch to Linux. Episode 1: Introduction
    So I've decided to switch to Linux. Episode 2: Saying goodbye to Windows

    Hope you enjoy it..!

    I've added a comment to your blog about outlook ==> evo migration.
    There is a chapter in the help of evolution about it.
