One final note.. Linux isn't Windows and none of your Windows programs will run
on Linux. Linux is totally different and has a steep learning curve. It also won't
solve any of your issues if you have hardware problems. It will only make it worse
as Linux has to supply different drivers for your hardware, and that's just for starters.
If you have POP3 email, make sure your provider supports Linux. They will have
to help you set it up... The list goes on.. :-(
