Conclusion
You can make your migration as painless as possible with thorough planning and preparation. Too often, I have seen people jump on the Linux bandwagon and format their computers, only to find out that they accidentally erased some of their important documents. Don't let that happen to you!
In part II of our Migration from Windows to Linux article, we will cover installation of Linux, Open Office and the various music/video players in Linux. Until then, say goodbye to your Windows OS, because its doom is approaching.
Please continue with part II Migrating From Windows To Linux, Part 2: Installation .
