[ubuntu-za] Migrating from vista to Ubuntu

[Schalk Neethling - OpenSource Release Feed]

Hi there everyone,

Turned into a really useful thread. Would any of you mind if I turn this 
into an article post on OpenSource Release Feed? I will of course 
mention everyone that contributes to this so, if everyone is ok with 
this please drop me a mail with your blog or website url.

Thanks,
Schalk
