<BLOCKQUOTE>If you're new (or even not so new) to Linux, there are hundreds of
questions, problems, and concerns that arise during the learning process,
especially when you're coming from the world of Microsoft Windows. This
article addresses a number of miscellaneous questions, both the frequently-
and rarely-asked questions, and groups them by topic. The focus is on helping
Windows users make the transition to Linux, but those converting from other
operating systems should find useful information here as well.</BLOCKQUOTE>
