Canadian Lover:
I live with a cuple of roommates, and they refuse to replace Windows with Linux! here are the reasons

A:
 
quote:Windows can't read Linux
--- End quote ---

Her wife said this and she works at home; her co-workwers are also Windows lusers and use MICROSOFT OFFICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

B:
 
quote:Linux is hard to use, and only computer pros   unerstand linux
--- End quote ---

He knows  NO PROGRAMNG KNOLAGE! and thinks    only experts can understand it.

So I'll need:
-an alternative office suite, that runs on both windows and Linux, and can read the same files;
-proff that that linux is user friendly and everyone can use it.

Thx

All I would do is show him this screenshot of Linux, showing off Openoffice.org, Gnome, and Nautilus browsing SMB shares.  That oughta convince him.

Check out this screenshot!

[EDIT]

Linux User, sorry for linking to the picture but the image is kinda big, and can scroll off the screen. I hope you don't mind.  ;)

still, if he's going to be his own administrator, it can be tough at times and require much researching and troubleshooting. But please, don't let an OS come between friends.

lazygamer:
What about dual booting?

suselinux:
most distros take care of that automatically when installing.  A note to some, when I installed REDHAT 7.3 some months ago it made my (now nonexistent) MS Me partition "HIDDEN" acording to Partition majic.
