[Tfug] windows to linux

[Liz_Ravenwood at beaerospace.com]

It's good advice, but I'm so flippin frustrated with windows and the slow 
strange behavior of the laptop I'm willing to throw the whole machine away 
if this doesn't work.
Thanks Claude.

Liz,

I would strongly recommend that you not simply wipe out your Windows
install and, instead, run from a live cd, set up a dual-boot system,
or run from within a virtual machine.  Once you're comfortable with
the new system, then you can complete your migration.
