THG Linux Migration, Part Two

LqqkOut writes "Tom's Hardware Guide has posted part 2 of their Windows->Linux migration article. This time around, we're presented with some nifty divx screen caps that make life look oh, so easy. The Tom's crew packed a lot into this article, but did they sacrifice some essentials like 'RTFM' and other sage advice? This follows up their first article where users were shown how to choose and download a distro, back up some important data, and check for HW compatibility."

    Why, oh why did they forget such gems as:

    - Always check your uptime. If it's better than the guy in your shop that's always preaching the benefits of BSD/Windows 2003 Server/Coco Puffs, then you have free rein to feel better than yourself. Otherwise, you should go home, beat yourself up, and make angry anonomyous coward postings to Slashdot.

    - When trying to figure out a problem with a command-line utility, it shouldn't be "Awww, man!", but rather "[user]# man awk".

    - Penguins are much more cuddly than windowpanes

    And so on... :)
