[General] How to avoid a Linux-migration disaster - at ZDNet.co.uk

[Bashar Al-Abdulhadi]

IMO migration to linux should be done on stages like how we did it at 
KuwaitNET


First migrate to opensource softwares on windows keep using them for 
certain period then go to linux as desktops


since most office users don't use much of applications that can't work 
on linux


IE -> firefox

Outlook -> thunderbird

MS-office -> OpenOffice


etc..
