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?"

1. You shouldn't be using OpenOffice or Microsoft Office. You should be using LaTeX. If you're a *real* scientist that is
2. I have run Origin in Wine *flawlessly*. Otherwise, use Gnumeric, bundled with R it has fantastic statistical analysis tools. Otherwise there is Matlab, gnuplot. Take your pick.
Problems solved.
