Ubuntu 9.04 For the Windows Power User
crazipper writes "Know a Windows power user who is (honestly) good with technology, but hasn't yet warmed to Linux? Tom's Hardware just posted a guide to installing and using Ubuntu 9.04, written specifically for the MS crowd (in other words, it talks about file systems, mount points, app installation, etc). Hopefully, by the end, your 'friend' will realize just how easy Ubuntu can be to use and start down a long path of exploration with a new operating system."
it would be nice to have seen the author pay heed to the fact that people don't use computers for their operating systems
Whoa there cowboy! This is Slashdot. This is where OSes are for religious zealotry. What are these applications of which you speak?
"They will have problems where ever they go."
Too true. I remember a friend of mine doing tech support at this big company and he told me that some woman had run out of hard drive space so she started deleting things because she never used those files.
She started in the Windows directory.
You say that like it's a bad thing. If you know what you're doing, there's loads of useless crap in the Windows directory.
