[Glastonbury] New to it

[Ian Dickinson]

In case anyone doesn't follow the discussion at
Slashdot [1], IBM have posted a free pdf guide [2] to
migrating from Windows desktops to Linux. 
Particularly aimed at business users, I think, but I
expect there's useful stuff in there for home users
too.  

The abstract:

"""
The goal of this IBM Redbook is to provide a technical
planning reference for IT organizations large or small
that are now considering a migration to Linux-based
personal computers. For Linux, there is a tremendous
amount of “how to” information available online that
addresses specific and very technical operating system
configuration issues, platform-specific installation
methods, user interface customizations, etc. This book
includes some technical “how to” as well, but the
overall focus of the content in this book is to walk
the reader through some of the important
considerations and planning issues you could encounter
during a migration project. Within the context of a
pre-existing Microsoft Windows-based environment, we
attempt to present a more holistic, end-to-end view of
the technical challenges and methods necessary to
complete a successful migration to Linux-based
clients.
"""

[1] for those that don't know it, it's a very busy
tech-oriented discussion board with a wide range of
topics and a highly variable quality of discussion!
