Wanted to throw my hat into the flame and say hello to the community. I'm a recent convert to Kubuntu after a very long stay in RedHatland. I'm sure this community is just as helpful and insightful as the justlinux community, for which I've been a part for a bit over two years now.
I initially started with a test hdd that had doze on it but was so full of worms and spyware that it was rendered useless. It was hoary about two days before breezy was pushed live. The empty drive prompted me to use it to test a new distro instead of reinstalling xp. I'm glad I did for I went through three different distros before settling on Kubuntu.
I went through the migration on Sunday evening. It went very smoothly once my data was backed up (took three hours to do the backup). This time, it was a Breezy install, with the follow up apt-get dist-upgrade to fix the annoying automount bug with my thumb drive.
Recently, I read a report about a company who sells a commercial version of Wine that supports many of the latest games. I'm going to test this thing out. If it is as painless to use as they advertise, my days with XP will never return. After all, the ONLY reason to use XP, for me, is the gameplaying.
Anyway, HI GUYS.

I have migrated to linux five years ago, it was very difficult then. But now, it's a piece of cake. After years of Mandrake, I switched to Kubuntu and most of my problems are solved. There is ONLY one thing I can't do at the moment, and it's video chatting with my family. Hope Skype solves that in the near future.
