Switching to Linux
I started using the PCLinuxOS Linux distribution around 5 years ago. One day in a moment of disgust with Microsoft XP I downloaded a copy of PCLOS .92 and ran it on my PC. It was a live CD so it booted from the CD, found all my stuff including the Internet connection and I was in business. It took no longer than booting MS windows which was on my hard drive and it did everything I wanted that XP did. All of it from the CD. I was using the KDE interface which looks, feels and taste like MS windows so I just went to work doing all the things I did with MS windows. I was hooked.
After installing PCLOS I accessed my data on windows and copied it to my new system. You can do that. PCLinuxOS can see and copy windows files but Windows XP is clueless. It won't even recognize Linux as a file or operating system
