I've been a Linux user for a couple years. However I've only been using 
Kubuntu for about a month. One of the main reasons I wouldn't use Ubuntu 
before was the Gnome desktop. I can't tell anyone why I don't like it, I 
just don't. I DO like Kubuntu and am very happy with it.

Marti,

I would suggest that you stick around the list here. Dual boot your 
computer with Windows and (K)Ubuntu. [ Personally I would recommend 
Kubuntu - but that's just my personal opinion ] Play with (K)Ubuntu 
whenever you have a little extra time. Reading the list will give you 
insights on how to do things and where things are located. In a short 
time you will find that you do less and less in Windows. AND, most 
importantly, ask questions.

Not everything has to be done with CLI. In fact I am NOT a CLI user. I 
"can" if someone posts the command to use by "Copy" and "Paste" method. 
I have found there is VERY little that you can't do with the graphical 
interface.

If I could find replacements for a couple pieces of Windows software in 
Linux I would probably never use Windows again.
