Some of us out there might have at times this itch to try out something new. But we are all afraid to face troubles and sleepless nights, therefore we have not crossed the border until today. But if you have been contemplating to try out Linux and don't want to risks... here is a nice collection of articles written by Ashton Mills in APC Magazine. It is a superguide to replace Windows completely with Ubuntu Linux.

despite the old age of this article (he started his test with Ubuntu 6.06, while in between upgraded to 6.10), i still find many points valid even today, if things have not been rectified or improved in the Ubuntu 7.04. Therefore if you are always unsure or doubtful, the series of tests and reviews are rather neutral and complete - you will see how daily tasks can be completed without the need of Windows and $$$. Why $$$? What he had done so far in the tests are all using the open source and free software provided by Ubuntu Linux and other available repositories (like DVD playback, MP3 and etc.) You are allowed to use them legally without needing to fork out any single cent. 

Do tell what do you think about his articles. I believe many things are well done today, and many more goodies are to come.
