THG Linux Migration, Part Two

Posted by michael on from the got-linux? dept.

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."

      Well getting first post w/o subscribing is easy. Just keep on hitting the refresh button until the story pops up. Subscribers cannot post untill the story is open to the public.
      The advantage to subscribing is that you can read the article and write up a good reply then copy it into the clip board and when the stoy swiches. you switch to green. then you replay paist and send. And Bang a first post that could be modded all the way up to 5. And be at the top of the list and giving you 15 minutes of fame.

      If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.

    An interesting troll post that I haven't seen before.

    "The moderation system is broken. If you mod someone as "Overrated," you can't be metamodded. People abuse this all the time to gang up and knock you down into oblivion."

    Is that true?

    Mod parent down. It's from anti-slash.org, and appears to be nothing more than a copy paste from somewhere. Look at the length and compare the comment time to the story post time.

    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... :)
