Looking for a used computer...

[admin at kclinux.net]

Wish these ideas would work for my S.O.  But since her employer is only
Windows, and her VPN client (made by Cisco) is only Windows based, and that
she works from home 90% of the time, I cant get her to switch.  But I do
have her convinced I can turn her system into a dual boot system so she can
play with linux, and that I can guarentee not to lose/corrupt any of her
exsisting data.  Now if I can get KDE or Gnome to work 100% of the time.
Sometimes some apps wont start when you click on them.  "At least Windows
will give you an error message!"  grrrr

I got my wife converted to linux by first converting her to use the 
latest Mozilla for browser and mail and OpenOffice.org for word 
processing, etc.  That makes up the bulk of what she did.  There was 
some digital photo issues I had to deal with after the conversion, but 
by getting her converted to the cross platform applications, the 
transition was fairly easy.
