Well, I’m here. This post was written from the Linux Desktop.
It wasn’t quite the plan I had, since I ended up trashing the windows boot process when trying to install Linux to the USB drive to get things moving. My data is all intact, but I can’t boot the Windows drive any more.
I’m still trying to figure out whether I care. I’ve discovered the WINE emulator is supposed to run the two programs I use most that aren’t available under Linux – Legacy (family tree application) and Autoroute. So I might just stick where I am right now. I’ve got all my e-mail, though I need to do some work to get Firefox working just the way I like it. I’ve got my documents, I can edit them and print them.
