I have been asking, for roughly the past three years, for any of our users who are already familiar with Linux, and have made the switch, to write something like this. So far, no one's volunteered.

Any takers? N (Doc. Project Manager) -- Internet connection, $19.95 a month. Computer, $799.95. Modem, $149.95. Telephone line, $24.95 a month. Software, free.
