You've prepared yourself for your Linux migration, now its time to make the jump. After reading Part 1 , you should have the following items: Linux installation CDs (1-7 CDs depending on the distribution you picked), CD of drivers, a CD/DVD of your migrated files and a hard-drive with your files (if you chose this route).
We will help you make it through the installation and the initial bootup. Then, we will transfer all your old documents into Linux. Your Internet Explorer favorites and your Outlook PST will be converted into Linux compatible formats. After that, we will run through a couple software installations with binary and source code packages. Screenshots and six downloadable training videos will guide you every step of the way.
