| DesktopLinux.com launches Windows-to-Linux FAQ Project |
Nov. 28, 2001
[Updated Nov. 30, 2001] DesktopLinux.com has today launched a new "frequently asked questions" list targeting the needs of computer users who want to switch from Windows to Linux as their desktop operating system. The "Win2LinFAQ" will cover commonly asked questions about Linux and related applications installation and configuration, application selection, data migration issues, etc. Members of the Linux community are being asked to contribute appropriate questions -- and answers -- to the project.
Here is the announcement of the Win2LinFAQ project from Rick Lehrbaum, Executive Editor of DesktopLinux.com . . .
The Windows-to-Linux FAQ Project (a.k.a. "Win2LinFAQ")
OK folks, here's something we can work on together that hopefully will benefit a great many computer users who would like to switch from Windows to Linux for their desktop OS. Here's how it will work . . . - Post a new thread (topic) in either the Windows-to-Linux migration discussion area or Windows-to-Linux FAQ area of the Desktop Linux Forum, with a title of the form: "Win2LinFAQ: How do I blah blah blah . . . ?" In your posting, clearly state some typical Windows-to-Linux migration question and, if you have an answer, include your answer. Don't be shy about posting questions that you think are common ones, even if you don't know the answer. (Note: posting directly to the FAQ area requires that you register as a member of the Forum, whereas posting to the Windows-to-Linux discussion area does not require registration.)
- Read the Win2LinFAQ postings that appear in the Windows-to-Linux FAQ area and add your answers or comments as REPLIES to the particular thread (again, this requires registration; so if you prefer not registering, post your comments in the Windows-to-Linux discussion area instead).
- The "Win2LinFAQ Project Team" will edit the posted Win2LinFAQ questions (and answers), and will collect the most relevant ones into a main Win2LinFAQ document which will be continually updated as new Win2LinFAQ question/answer postings appear.
OK? Great! So let's get started . . .
Best regards,
Rick Lehrbaum
Executive Editor, DesktopLinux.com
p.s. Many thanks, on behalf of the Desktop Linux community, to all those who have volunteered to become part of the Win2LinFAQ Project Team!
