Re: Full replacement of MS

Hi,
I'm still toying with the idea of fully replacing Windows w Debian
GNU/Linux. The doubt I am still having is this: will I be able to use
all the data that I had created under Windows, those documents, emails,
images, audios and videos? Anyone has done a complete and successful
conversion? Will I have to start-off with a dual-OS system and do the
conversion via the HD? Or should I carry out a MS Backup of all these
data to a CD-RW and use it for the conversion under LInux? Would like to
hear from you.
Cheers

Good man! DO IT!
My experience:
I first only ran a Linux (I forget the one) under win-95.
Then I braved unto making a partition that ran RedHat and dual booted to
windows.
Then I went to Debian, but kept XP on a partition.
Then I said goodbye, admitting I was a chicken.
At the end my only problem was Adobe Editor of pdf forms of the IRS. But
that can quite easily be done with xfig and some added packages.
.doc's are no problem, but multimedia files might be in some cases.
DO IT!
H.
