Things to know before Replacing Windows by Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| There is no registry in Linux
| 
| In windows there is the registry, the 
| registry is a database which keeps all your 
| settings. If you want to change anything not 
| in a menu (or in a menu) you need to use the 
| regedit program Or a script.
| 
| In Linux there is no such thing as a 
| registry.
| 
| In Linux everything is a file
| 
| All configurations are in text files, and 
| everything in Linux is treated as a file. 
| This is a much simpler approach which makes 
| it very easy to change things in Linux. In 
| Linux even your filesystem itself can be 
| viewed as a file.
