Star How to Replace Windows Completely with Ubuntu
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Mon 22nd Oct 2007 09:08 UTC, submitted by Dan Warne
Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu APCMag has a lenghty article on switching from Windows to Ubuntu. "When I was first given this task I had to sit and blink a few times, if for nothing else than dramatic pause. I'm a self-confessed Linux nut, as some of you may know, but even I'm cautious to do away with Windows completely. There's a reason I have a dual-boot Windows and Linux machine. Several of them, in fact. But have I just been conditioned into using Windows because of past experience, or applications, or file formats, or the myriad other reasons that make Windows a comfort zone because it's all so familiar?"

Incorrect. Explorer can do thumbnail views for most multimedia formats that have proper codecs installed. Select "View" then "Thumbnails" (or "Filmstrip," as applicable) from the main menu.

What are those codecs you speak of? Windows is too hard for average user!
