So Have you tried this before? If I backup my /etc and my /home my
/var/www and /var/local and format my hd, and install Mandrake (i'm
running debian right now)
Things should more or less work out of the box?
I mean if I want to try out Mandrake and if do not like it turn back to
Debian is it somthing that can be done in a day?

Hello everybody,
Philip,
Save your /etc and do not format your /home partition.
I have followed-up your posts yday & 2day; it look like you are ready
to start the Linux revolution. Good for you, and good luck, but if you
really want some success, try INFILTRATE corporations/companies. Look
for standard (I mean standard office duties) and server needs. Because
I don't think you will succeed to use whatever payroll/accounting
software which was developed having Windows environment in mind. Try
instead to make all communication through Linux, followed by
administration tasks, backup procedures, available spare space, in one
word, things you are SURE 100% they will work without ONE problem.
Otherwise, people will start saying that is not a good software, that
is difficult to use.
Isn't this what We've been saying, and me agreeing?
Hat off Keith, you are gathering people around and keep the movement;
have you checked on www.linuxdocs.org? Have you consider going first
in education? I mean schools, coleege and University. Go and setup
there some networks, build for them some webservers and forums using
Apache, PHP and whatever you will need on Linux to keep them moving.
Uni already uses linux extensivly for it's servers! ... Schools, do they
have connectivity?
