Desktop Linux For The Windows Power User
Some interesting highlights from the article:
One of the most attractive attributes of Linux is the relatively low level of system requirements needed by even the most modern distributions. Ubuntu's minimum system requirements are listed as simply 384 MB RAM and 4 GB of disk space.
I had no problem transferring the contents of the My Documents, My Pictures, and My Music folders. The wallpaper and user-picture files did transfer, but wouldn't open. Most surprisingly, the Internet Explorer favorites transferred flawlessly to Mozilla Firefox bookmarks. Transferring browser bookmarks alone makes this step worthwhile.
You should now begin kicking yourself if you did not write down or remember your exact username and password. Without them, you'll need to redo the entire installation because you won't be able to get into the desktop. If you followed instructions and have your username and password, type in the username and press Enter. [Emphasis added.]
