So their entire life's collection of software, documents, apps, and games
doesn't go to waste.
And notice Dvorak didn't specify the latest and greatest soundcard -
Creative X-Fi - probably because it won't produce any sound under Linux. He
conveniently "forgot" about that little fact, so he didn't even mention
sound. And I notice none of the cola "advocates" did, either.

Which of the hundreds is your favorite? How did you find it? How is a
Linux newbie supposed to find it?
Is all that wasted time not worth anything to you?
