Changing from Windows XP to RH Linux 9 on my Acer TravelMate 430 series?

SAJChurchey:
As for music and games.  You will have to install the mp3 plug-in for XMMS (if you can't find it, let me know), that's my preferred method of playing downloads.  kscd will take care of any of your audio CD needs.  The default set of games for Linux is massive compared to Solitaire, Hearts, FreeCell, Pinball, and Spider Solitaire.  You will be quite pleased.

Yeah, it would be a good idea to use Fedora Core 1 if you can download it, or you can wait for Fedora Core 2 to be released soon.  It has the new 2.6 kernel and a lot more security features thanks to the SELinux project.

Mozilla mail is a software by itself is it? Please enlighten me like how I go by to get this particular email configured on my laptop if i were to run Fedora/RH Linux 9?

worker201:
Mozilla not only rules, it kicks ass too.  And it's easy to use.  I didn't know it would eat outlook files, but thats cool to know.

Thunderbird actually runs as a standalone client, read about it here:

and according to the FAQ, importing outlook crap is pretty easy:

Go to Tools > Import, which will bring up a dialog to guide you through the process.

Hell yeah.

The CD burning software and music, games can i happen to use something to replace them?

Office: OpenOffice.org is totally for free and it opens and saves Word, Powerpoint and Excel documents (compatible with Office XP).

Games: this is an issue for some people. Too bad we only have games like Unreal Tournament 2004, Medal of Honor, The Sims, Wolfenstein 3D, Quake III Arena, who run native  

CD burning: X-CD-Roast

Music: Noatun
