Description:

This is a book of strategies for people who are ready for a taste of freedom in their personal computing life. It is about unhooking from the unstable, insecure and expensive world of Windows and Windows applications and entering the world of free and open source software. Importantly, this is also a book about making the switch without losing your data, without leaving behind your must-have applications and without losing your interactions with friends, relatives and colleagues who are staying behind in the Windows world. The goal is to make your switch as rewarding and as hassle-free as possible.
