10 ways to help users transition to Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Sheer economics are driving the increasingly widespread usage of the Linux
| operating system. It’s free, it’s reliable, it’s safe, and (did I mention?)
| it’s free! But when adopting a new operating system, there is always a
| learning curve for the user base. Not only that, many users think Linux is
| hard to use. This, of course, is not necessarily so. But it’s your job to
| overcome their reluctance and to train them to use Linux so that it becomes
| second-nature to them, as Windows is. Without sending your users to some sort
| of boot camp, this may seem like a rather daunting task. But there are ways
| to ease the pain of learning Linux. Let’s examine some of them.

| 1: Standardize on a Windows-like desktop

| 2: Get users familiar with applications before you switch

| There are many articles written about the reasons why users may wish to
| convert to Linux. Frequently cited reasons include the favorable licensing
| terms, the freely distributable software (with source code), support from the
| Linux community, improved security, open file formats, the fact that Linux
| can run on a wide variety of platforms, etc. However, unless a desktop user
| is provided with real alternatives to the existing software he or she
| currently uses, migration to a different operating system is going to be very
| difficult.
