Your mileage may vary, but I strongly recommend total immersion Like Paul, I was converted to Linux by Win95's recalcitrance. I switched overnight, in fall 1999. After that I rebooted Windows exactly once: to rule out a mechanical problem with my printer. A few months of using only Linux gave me the confidence to wipe all trace of MS from my disks. I've never missed the mess. Maybe I should back up & give a little background: In late '97 I designed a new box (with help from people on [EMAIL PROTECTED]), & hired an expert to put it together & install Win95 & Red Hat. But my work as a free-lance editor left me little time to explore Linux, & before the sudden changeover I had learned almost nothing not in 2 little books -- _Learning the UNIX Operating System_ & _Learning the vi Editor_ (O'Reilly both). If I could do it, you can do it. Whoever you are. Wendell Cochran West Seattle -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
