I'm viewing this sort of like preaching a religion. The best way to get true converts is not to yell on the town square about the evils of Microsoft and closed source software, but to preach by example. Run Linux and let people notice the difference then their own curiosity will get them hooked.
The setup:
- I'm a windows sysadmin which mainly includes Active Directory administration.
- I have recently setup my email to come through Gmail and send through the same, I did this ahead of time since email seems to be quite important and I wanted to make certain that there would be no problems or issues arising from it.
I am intending to run Ubuntu 6.10 and the few windows only applications that I need through wine. The only thing I will need my windows partition for anymore is classes I take that use Visual Studio (I might end up running this in vmware though) and games.
I will keep this updated on the progress and any difficulty's I experience. Also there may come a time when my administration finds out and shuts down my experiment. If I can fully mature it before that and show the validity of it that may not happen though.
