What kind of blunders? Is he going to accidentally open an email
containing an attachment infected with a Linux virus, then accidentally
save the attachment, then accidentally chmod +x it, then accidentally

Be careful there Alias. It appears that even a "pro" like Galen has been
able to accomplish all of the above. :-) I think by now you should have
ascertained who around here has been spreading MickeyMouse FUD and who
around here knows something about GNU/Linux.

Cheers.



And who around here is willing to help me do the transition and who isn't.

Well, this *is* a -Windows- newsgroup. :o)


Microsoft's Steve Ballmer may disagree with you. He claims that Linux really belongs to the Windows Boys.

Besides, this is one of the best places to tell unhappy Windows users that there is a viable alternative.
