Linux Desktop Migration Cookbook from IBM

Posted by michael on from the rated-u-for-useful dept.

almondjoy writes "I was project leader for publication of this recent IBM Redbook, available for free download here: Linux Client Migration Cookbook: A Practical Planning and Implementation Guide for Migrating to Desktop Linux. At this point, I'm gathering input for what we could improve on, and what additional topics should be covered in a second version of the book. I realize this is a broad topic to cover in a rapidly changing environment. And because these books are developed by IBM there are some content limitations. Nonetheless, in the next version we want to continue making the book as useful as possible for anyone considering a migration to Linux on the desktop."

    So when is IBM going to put this into practice? I'd like to know when, for sure, IBM is going to eat its own dogfood.

    I'd like to see IBM endorse the Linux desktop as a solution of all tiers of business.

    You'll need to start over with your Favorites and they will not remember your logins.

    Yeah, and once you start over, it remembers them. Your argument is specious at best.

    How about a series of 12 volume sets entitled "How to burn a DVD", "How to print a photo", etc?
