something i've wanted to do for a while is write up a 
document listing the various ways/tools to start using 
linux apps in a microsoft environment.  not a detailed
description of every tool, just a brief paragraph or two,
followed by a pointer to more info.

  to begin, one could list simple things like mtools to 
access dos floppies, "xpdf" to read PDF documents,
cdrecord/xcdroast to burning CDs, and working up to 
office suites such as star office, samba for file/print
sharing and so on.  no detailed install/config info,
just pointers -- a place to get started.

  i recall, some time back, running across an article 
someone had written that looked a lot like this -- how
to start replacing MS software with corresponding
linux apps, but i stupidly misplaced the pointer to that
article.

  are there any good sites/articles out there along this
vein?  this is just the kind of document that would interest
a number of my clients.  and if i can't find docs just like
this, then i guess i'll just have to write one. :-)
