Of course it should exist! I've made a few feeble attempts or partial attempts at portions of such a thing, they are scattered around my public and private TWikis. The only relevant page that I could find quickly is http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Wikilearn/LinuxRulesOfThumb, and, unfortunately, it is rather trite. If you do a search on WikiLearn for Linux, you may recognize a few other pages that touch on the same concept -- conceptual differences between Windows and Linux, or phrased another way, helping Windows refugees to get up to speed on Linux -- in fact, that is one of the focuses of WikiLearn. Take a look at that page, try to ignore its triteness, and feel free to add to it (or start new pages) dealing with the conceptual differences you have in mind. I think that a wiki may be more suitable for this topic than a HOWTO, as we can create a wiki page for each conceptual difference, and another wiki page that lists them all (eventually), with a brief description or discussion, and refers to the individual page for more information. And the pages are inherently online, searchable, and indexed by search engines like Google. Just my $.02, and hoping to take advantage of anyone who might like to write something on WikiLearn.
