Starting from scratch, transition from win os, absolute begginer

Hi,

the idea is to make a room for a brand new users of Open Source OS, and mostly for people who ( finaly & definitely! ) decided to make a transition from Win OS to Linux OS. By that, I mean to start with useful advices, mostly links " how to " type, books, and even maybe " real time " help and support here … All the problems about starting, installing, live boot, settings, adjusting, and etc … Also, I am thinking about a new project directly related to Open Source, mainly Linux, so the people can hear and know that there is an alternative in IT! That project would be focused mainly on Linux OS, but also on Solaris, PC Cent OS, Unix, and many others. I am interested in creating a data base about all of these, development and implementing, step by step, from scratch. If there is anyone interested to take part in this project, let me know … Besides, main idea is popularisation of Open Source, mainly Linux OS, forming communities on a local levels, and integrating to the web site / forum / blog … For any further info, suggestions and everything else, you are more than welcome …

Have you tried joining your nearest Linux User Group?

Of course I am, but it suppose they do not exist any more …
