For those of you who don't have it handy, the link to the Installation
HOWTO mentioned above is
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Installation-HOWTO/index.html. I looked at
this document and it could fit with the content, perhaps between
Chapters 3 and 4.
Another document that is very similar to "Deciding if Linux is Right for
You" is the "From DOS/Windows to Linux HOWTO" at
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/DOS-Win-to-Linux-HOWTO.html. This particular
document hasn't been updated since August 2000, and I think these two
could be combined to make the document more robust.
Any other comments/suggestions?
