  I either missed your original post, or I was tired enough that it didn't =

  register in short term memory.  Either way, welcome to Linux and the =

  mailing list.

  I've only been using Linux since mid-1999, but I did a 100% outing of M$ =

  on my home network when I decided to begin using SuSE 6.0.  My family =

  grumbled (ok, a LOT) when I left them no choice but to become Linux =

  users.  The griping tapered off considerably when OpenOffice became =

  aavailable and they could more easily exchange files with their Winblows =

  using friends and co-workers.

  This method is NOT for everyone, but it has worked well for us.

  Your curiousity of "how it works" will go a long way toward your success =

  with Linux.  That desire is probably the single most necessary element.  =

  Right on the heels of that desire is voracious reading.  As you delve =

  into the various aspects of system administration and end-user =

  applications you will find that there is a huge volume of information =

  freely available.

  In addition to your participation in this forum, I strongly suggest that =

  you avail yourself of the LinuxBasics tutorial program.  It will give =

  you a solid base upon which to build your further exploration of Linux.  =

  I also suggest that you locate a Linux User Group (LUG) in your area and =

  get to know some other Linux users face-to-face.

  Again, welcome to the list and to Linux.
