We all have our own ways of teaching our friends and family how to switch from Windows to Linux. Mine goes like this - are you planning to get a new hardware? If so, can you afford a Mac? If so, get a Mac. If not, get a Windows-less computer from your favorite manufacturer. If you can get Linux pre-installed, better, otherwise, I can help you install and configure it.

You may ask why my first choice is a Mac? Well, it is easier to use and if push comes to shove, you can always remove Mac OS X and install linux, right? :) Also, I must disclose that I am a Mac user, too. hahaha

Anyway, PCWorld came up with its own Switch from Windows to Linux How To. Why is this important? Well, I am hoping that those who are still reading print media will find out how easy it is to switch and decide to go ahead and trash Windows. AM I hoping too much? You tell me - how many people have you convinced to switch away from Windows?
