The Road from Windows to Linux
Filed under: If you are switching from Windows to Linux, be warned. An independent, small-scale study concludes that migrating from Linux (back) to Windows is hard. As Windows lacks the power and user-friendliness that Linux offers, frustration should be anticipated.
A similar and older article uses sarcasm and outlines reasons not to use Linux. In practice, both articles which are cynical serve as primers to the advantages of using Linux.
If you choose to upgrade to Linux, be aware that rather than reading surveys, you can use a questionnaire-type utility to determine which Linux distribution suits you best.

I would definatly reccomend a switch to Linux! I’m using Gentoo now and my computer feels as if its had a massive speed boost!

A move to Gentoo is quite an heroic one. I am personally in favour of SuSE and Ubuntu, both of which make life easy with YaST and Synaptic package managers, respectively.
